IF you are driving anytime soon then stay south on I-10. You will have to contend with wind but no freezing weather.
However, When I drive Albuquerque to Houston I always go through Temple, Abilene, Lubbock, Clovis. No interstate but high speed TX and NM back roads.
Personal reminiscence you can skip reading follows:
In the good old days (60's) you could speed and not expect to get a ticket but now I am not so sure. I have only been stopped twice over the last 55 years of making that trip 2-3 times a yr. TX trooper let me off with a warning--I was doing 85 in a 75 and a NM trooper gave me a ticket for 10 over when I was doing 15+ over.
BTW: A ticket in NM is not reported to an insurance company if it is 10 miles out side of a city limits.
