Branson to Houston

I will be traveling from Branson to Houston last wk of Oct.
I'd like to go to Hot Springs, then about 200 miles a day to Houston,

How is 59 south from Mt. Pleasant?

Couple of notes: US 59 would be south from Texarkana, not from Mt. Pleasant. From I-30 in Texarkana there is a well marked exit to US 59/Houston. It is a good highway all the way, bypasses for Nacogdoches and Lufkin.

From Mt. Pleasant, I would take TX 49 to Daingerfield where I would pick up US 259 which is a good highway through Longview to join US 59 at Nacogdoches.

BTW, we live in a small town on US 259 north of Daingerfield.

EDIT to add: 200 miles from Hot Springs would bring you to the vacinity of Carthage, Texas on US 59. There is a very nice in town RV park on Business 59 in Carthage. Just a jog off US 59 would be Martin's Creek State Park if you prefer that kind of setting.

The trip on to Houston would be less than 200 miles.

There are nice state parks at Atlanta, Texas (off US 59) at Daingerfield, Texas (off US 259), and at Tyler, Texas a bit west of your possible route, but one of the best.
