He then proceeded, "Can I help you?" I said, "Just trying to pour some coffee." He replied, "Nah man. We're out of coffee. Unless you want to clock in and start working." What the heck? What kind or a response was that? And what gas station on the highway doesn't sell coffee for nighttime drivers?! Might as well pass this place up and continue to the Flying J a little further along.

Now, it's a rest stop for weary travelers along I-77, down to the RGV. It's been decorated with beautiful, colorful mosaics that depict colorful scenes on the ranches out in South Texas. The restroom is clean, well lit, and offers a few vending machines inside. There's some TxDOT propaganda posters reminding drivers not to text or drink and drive. Good advice. The area around the restrooms is well lit and well-landscaped. There's all kinds of trees and places you could walk a dog in the shade around here. Just watch for snakes.

So my father being as old as he is has to stop every 60 miles to go to the bathroom, damn all that medicine he takes. Any ways....i decided to stop and stretch a bit while he ran in. Right when you get into parking lot it's free and clear of any trash. The bathrooms are located inside the rest stop building that has a small museum in it with snacks and drinks. There is even a kids play area right outside that is pretty solid. New and shaded area for a quick pic nic and a few nice trees with park benches underneath them. Now if you have the four legged family pet there is also a dog walking trail. I don't of course so I didn't check it out. I'm really impressed. It felt like I was in a huge park ready to enjoy some perfect scenery. If you ever need to stop and stretch this is a location I would suggest. It's definitely not like the scene in the movie "There's Something about Mary" with Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz. If you haven't seen this movie before sure to YT that scene. You will get the joke. Cheers All...

It's got a rare restroom here in the middle of the freeway, which is more efficient than one on each side of the roadway like elsewhere! The restrooms here induce some sort of vertigo with me here. Someone has gone to great lengths to tile the inside of this place with a mosaic of colors, which, in my opinion, is rather disorientating and makes me dizzy! But, the coolest part of the tile work is a large mosaic of swimming in the Frio river with a rope swing off a Texas Cypress tree. It's picturesque, but it is a restroom. Outside in the rest area, they've got placards to teach y'all a bit about the Texas area and history, with a big Texas Lone Star made of metal in the lobby area. There was plenty of parking when I went, both for cars and for RVs. The place was well-lit and safe. Someone was actively working in the center, and there was a repairman in the building when I went, so it was pretty busy. There was a playground and picnic tables too, if you're interested in getting out on a slide or monkey bars and eating some snacks. Really, this is a great Texas rest stop that makes travelling the miles and miles of Texas to be a pleasure!

Texas is a humongous state, that's for sure!…read more This seems like an odd listing ... it would be more appropriate to be titled "City of Seguin" rather than the State of Texas. Never-the-less, it is listed here. In 2 months time, I have been through the entire state of Texas, traveling on I-10 three times. The first 2 times, I only drove for like an hour and was practically run off the side of the road by a Semi-Truck. He turned his blinker on and came right on over. I was so scared, my husband took over right after I pulled off at an exit. The third time, I had no choice but to be brave and take my chances. Yet again, there were 2 truckers that had me really scared. They pull over whenever they feel like it. It is insane! I can't say they were Texans, because these trucks are from anywhere! I've been through & stayed in Seguin a few times, just off the Interstate. If you are Eastbound on I-10 from Houston to Beaumont, there is a rest area called James Taylor White Safety Rest Area. It is just about halfway between the two cities. This place is a very modern and clean place to stop & take a look. It also has a neat fenced in playground for the little ones to use up some energy. There are also paths for walks. Texas has the San Antonio Riverwalk, The Alamo, Amusement Parks, NASA Space Center, Zoos, Caverns, beaches, and a whole bunch more attractions! Be sure to stop in at the Welcome Centers and pick up brochures, or look online, or even go to a Travel Agency of some sort to help you find things to do while in Texas. The possibilities are endless!

Texas Safety Rest Area indeed.... aside from a general feeling of unease initially at seeing only one other vehicle - a semi way over there - but no actual people on the premises this was great!! and by great I mean kinda creepy, and by kinda I mean severely, like apocalyptic. but the lights are on the big open spaces outside and the play ground for the kiddies and all the green grass and picnic tables and what looks like a small pack of feral kittens getting ready to start something but there's nobody here... there's space inside too with an ersatz corral looking thing with signage and seating and stuff all around and on the other side of that at a desk near the windows there's a guy nominally keeping an eye on things as if there were things going on. rumor has it this is typical; a handful of cars stop here at night and not too many more during the daytime which would explain how this place is immaculate. nice, but still a little creepy...
