Run US281 north to Hico Texas where you will catch SH220 north to US67 north and up into Dallas. Got some friends that run from Dallas to San Antonio daily and run 281. Saves a few hours a day round trip.
281 is a very nice road. There are some lights as youre coming out of San Antonio that can slow you down if you catch them wrong but otherwise its great. Some parts of it are 75 mph. Don't know if you're paying for your own fuel or not but the fuel in Lampasas is usually the cheapest around. At night 35 would be faster though.
