Yeah there are several in the Houston area and I am sure in Dallas too that rent full-auto. Quite a few ranges in ATX as well, know several rent, but not sure about full auto. I like Reds in Plflugerville, but don’t think they do full auto.

This one rents full auto

I remember when reds was cooks. Was not as friendly after red bought them out.

If you happen to make it to Shlitterbahn it might be worth making a drive to Fredericksburg for some German beer and food. They have several shops to visit. You can sit in a micro brewery while the wife shops. They also have a festival once a month and some great flower farms you can visit if your into that. Lots of bed and breakfast places to stay. I try and make it once a year.

If you get to Fredericksburg be sure to go to the museum of the pacific.

Fredericksburg is awesome! Love the German food, atmosphere there. My wife and I stayed at a B&B there years ago, had a great time. That museum kicks ass!

Railhead BBQ in Fort Worth is a local fave.
The Fixture on Magnolia in Fort Worth is owned/operated by Chef Ben Merrit...excellent!
Fort Worth has a FUN zoo as well.
Fort Worth Stock Yards has a lot of stuff to see and do.
Downtown Grapevine has a FUN Main St. Shops, restaurants, and wine tasting.

Have a Great Trip!

I was in Dallas a couple weeks ago.

If you like Mexican food, hit up El Come Taco.

I'm not a cowboys fan at all. But that stadium is worth a drive by or tour. It's massive.
Alot others have been mentioned, but totally fredricksburg is worth a day stop

Chris, If you like history, check out the street where JFK was shot in Dallas, and the old book depository building which is a museum now on the sixth floor.

Check out the Hill Country area just west of Austin.

Marble Falls and Fredericksburg are both very scenic and nice little towns to visit. Also check out the Deep Eddy distillery in Dripping Springs and the Twisted X brewery. Good times.

Some awesome ideas guys. Can't thank you all enough for these suggestions.

Very excited to go to TX. We were considering to move there, provided we can find jobs and what not. Changing your home/place of work out of state isn't the easiest, but, let's see what happens, haha.

If you go to Fredericksburg, the Pacific War Museum is also located there. Badass museum to boot.

I relocated here 12 years ago. Sold my house in Iowa and never looked back. Best thing I've done in my life.

Yes unlike the People being run by Chicago, Illinois Texas you can own almost anything minus Nuclear weapons in Texas I know of a guy that has a Sherman I think it's an A4 as it has a short 75mm, M-18 Hellcat, and a M7 Priest that lives there. and they all have fully functioning armament.
if they have all this shit they have special permits. you can't just up and buy that shit and keep it around.

Bumping this.

Super excited about this. Little over a month away. Cannot wait to get to TX and start messing around and having a blast.

We are definitely going to the Oasis and I'm going to try and buy my way into a lake front seat with the wife, as we will be hitting our 5-year marriage anniversary and 15 years of being together.

I've looked up a few distilleries that we plan on hitting and coffee places, since we are coffee snobs and I'm a bourbon fanatic.

Actually not really any regulation on tanks. Libs do not worry about it because only the rich can get a tank. Just like only the rich can legally own a machine gun.
