how long driving dallas to galveston
Save this Post. 1. Re: Driving from Dallas to Galveston. Apr 26, 2013, 2:12 PM. Nothing really great, but in Centerville, there's a place called Frank's (I think). I think it's on both sides of I-45, but I've only visited the one on the east side. It's got pretty good BBQ, jerky, etc., is clean, you can eat at tables inside, there are plenty of souvenirs, it's got gasoline, etc. It's roughly halfway from Dallas to Houston, which would still leave you roughly 3 hours to Galveston. (I've never been to a Buc-ees, but I'd imagine it's like a lesser version of one.)
