From Houston - hoping to avoid Dallas - I'd go 290/190/6 through College Station to Waco - continue on 6 through Meridian to Hico - pick up 281 and north to 287 in Wichita Falls - then to Amarillo. Up to Dumas and over to Raton, NM. Then north on 25.
Or you can get off I-45 onto 287 at Ennis, go through Fort Worth and out 287 to Wichita Falls.
I find 281, 287, 190, 6 all to be good roads without too many slowdowns, smooth and easy to drive.
We usually take this route also by getting on 287 in Fort Worth going through Wichita Falls, Amarillo, Dumas and Raton. It is a good route. If you just want an overnight stop just to get some sleep the Welcome center in Amarillo on I-40 has 24 hour security and free WIFI.
