Camino Real de los Tejas that once connected Mexico with Spanish-controlled

Deer hunters prize the Carrizo Springs area, which is noted for having more
trophy bucks per square mile than any other region in the state. Carrizo Springs
Golf Course is a public championship nine-hole course. Open daily. 830/876-2596.
