Texas has 37 open Buc-ee's locations as of August 13, 2026, representing roughly 67% of all Buc-ee's stores in the United States. The state is home to the world's largest Buc-ee's in Luling (75,593 sq ft), the original 1982 store in Lake Jackson, and the brand-new 37th location in San Marcos that opened on August 12, 2026. A second new store is planned for Boerne in 2027.

Update — August 13, 2026San Marcos officially open — Governor Abbott cuts the ribbon. Texas Governor Greg Abbott, San Marcos Mayor Jane Hughson, Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra, and Buc-ee's Founder Arch "Beaver" Aplin III opened the San Marcos travel center yesterday, August 12, 2026, at 6:00 a.m. The 74,707-square-foot store is expected to serve more than 10,000 visitors a day. Per Community Impact, the location will bring over $50 million in capital investment to San Marcos and create over 300 jobs with an emphasis on hiring local applicants — outpacing the 200-job estimate at groundbreaking. It is the chain's 57th store nationwide.

Where Are All 37 Texas Buc-ee's? Organized by Highway Corridor

Competitors list stores alphabetically by city. That is not how road-trippers actually think. Below, every open Texas Buc-ee's is grouped by the highway you are actually driving.

I-10 Corridor: Houston to West Texas

I-10 runs east-west across the full width of Texas, connecting Houston to the New Mexico border. It carries the world's largest Buc-ee's and several of the busiest locations in the chain. Heading east from Baytown across the Louisiana state line, the next open Buc-ee's on I-10 is Harrison County in Pass Christian, Mississippi, roughly 240 miles from Baytown.

West Texas

Amarillo on I-40 is the only Panhandle location, serving traffic moving between Albuquerque and Oklahoma City.

Which Texas Buc-ee's Locations Are the Most Iconic?

Luling: World's Largest at 75,593 Square Feet

The Luling Buc-ee's on I-10 (10070 West IH 10) is the world's largest convenience store at 75,593 square feet with 120 fuel pumps. It opened in its current form in June 2024, surpassing the previous record holder. If you drive I-10 between San Antonio and Houston, this is the must-stop.

StatNumber
Square footage75,593 sq ft
Fuel pumps120
Previous record holderNew Braunfels, TX
LocationI-10, Luling, TX 78648

The restroom complex at Luling is, by itself, larger than many convenience stores. The food hall covers fresh-cut brisket, kolaches, a full fudge counter, and the full Beaver Nuggets lineup, all available around the clock.

Lake Jackson: Store #1, Founded 1982

The original Buc-ee's opened July 30, 1982 at 899 Oyster Creek Drive in Lake Jackson, Texas. Founded by Arch "Beaver" Aplin III and Don Wasek, the store had just 8 fuel pumps and looked nothing like today's mega-centers. It still operates today.

The Lake Jackson store is a worthwhile detour for anyone interested in the origin of the chain. It sits about 50 miles south of Houston on the Gulf Coast. Three separate Buc-ee's locations now operate within Lake Jackson and nearby Freeport, all in the small cluster where the brand began.

New Braunfels: Former World Record Holder

New Braunfels held the world record as the largest Buc-ee's from 2012 to 2023. At 66,335 square feet with 120 pumps and a Tesla Supercharger station, it remains one of the most visited locations in the chain. Its position on I-35 between San Antonio and Austin, right in the middle of one of the most driven stretches of Texas highway, gives it constant foot traffic year-round.

Madisonville: The Midpoint on I-45

The Madisonville Buc-ee's (205 IH-45 South) sits almost exactly halfway between Dallas and Houston on I-45, making it the most logically positioned road-trip stop in the state. Known for its large jerky wall and reliable parking, Madisonville has been a Texas road trip institution for years.

Plan 20 to 30 minutes here. The location is large enough to have everything, busy enough to feel like a genuine Texas landmark, and perfectly timed to land at the natural midpoint of one of the country's most-traveled interstate routes.

Katy: The First 120-Pump Store

The Katy location (27700 Katy Fwy) on I-10 west of Houston was the first Buc-ee's to reach 120 fuel pumps, setting the template for what a mega-format Buc-ee's fueling station would look like. It includes a car wash, Tesla Supercharger, DEF, and ethanol-free fuel. For anyone leaving Houston heading west, Katy is the first major stop.

How Far Is the Nearest Buc-ee's from Major Texas Cities?

One gap in most competitor guides: they never tell you actual driving distances. Here is a reference table built for the five largest Texas markets.

Your CityNearest Buc-ee'sApprox. DistanceHighway

El PasoNo nearby location200+ milesI-10 east

Note: El Paso sits at the far western edge of Texas. The closest current Buc-ee's to El Paso is several hours east on I-10. This remains one of the few genuine gaps in the Texas network.

What New Buc-ee's Are Coming to Texas in 2026 and 2027?

San Marcos: Now Open (August 12, 2026)

Texas welcomed its 37th Buc-ee's on August 12, 2026. The San Marcos travel center on I-35 near Yarrington Road opened at 6:00 a.m. with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Governor Greg Abbott, Buc-ee's Founder Arch "Beaver" Aplin III, San Marcos Mayor Jane Hughson, and Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra.

Expected daily visitors10,000+

Why this opening matters: San Marcos fills what was previously the longest gap on the I-35 corridor. Anyone driving between Georgetown (north Austin) and New Braunfels had roughly 80 miles without a Buc-ee's. That gap closed on August 12. The 128-pump fueling canopy is also the highest pump count of any single Buc-ee's location in the chain.

Boerne: A Unique Smaller-Format Store Coming in 2027

The Boerne location is unlike any recent Texas Buc-ee's. After years of delays and community negotiations, the Boerne City Council approved a revised development agreement that placed significant limits on the store's scale.

Community concessions also include dark-sky-compliant lighting, nine acres of open space to buffer neighboring properties, native landscaping, and HVAC condensate recovery systems to reduce water use. The sign height was reduced from 75 feet to 60 feet. Boerne will be the closest Buc-ee's to San Antonio from the west, covering the scenic Hill Country stretch of I-10.

What Are the Best Texas Road Trips Between Buc-ee's?

Houston to San Antonio via I-10

Best stops: Katy (west Houston exit) then Luling (world's largest)

Luling is 45 minutes east of San Antonio and about 90 minutes from Katy. Give yourself 30 to 45 minutes at Luling even if you do not need fuel. The trip back from San Antonio also includes the brand-new San Marcos option via I-35 if you detour slightly.

Dallas to Houston via I-45

Best stops: Ennis (35 miles south of Dallas) then Madisonville (90 miles from both cities)

Madisonville is the anchor stop. It sits so close to the geographic midpoint of this drive that skipping it feels like a planning mistake. Budget 25 minutes.

Austin to Dallas via I-35

Best stops: Georgetown (north Austin) then Hillsboro (north of Waco) then Denton (south DFW)

Three Buc-ee's across a 190-mile drive. Hillsboro is the one most travelers miss — it has 120 pumps, ethanol-free fuel, and far shorter lines than the more famous stores because it sits in the Waco corridor rather than the Austin-San Antonio rush.

Panhandle to San Antonio via I-27 and I-35

Best stops: Amarillo (I-40) then Temple or Hillsboro on I-35

Amarillo is the only Panhandle location, with 108 pumps, Tesla Supercharger, and DEF. After Amarillo, the next Buc-ee's heading south is several hours away on I-35.
