What is a good town between Houston and Dallas to spend the day?

Question

I live in Houston and a friend of mine lives in Dallas. We are looking to meet somewhere in the middle for coffee and to just hang out for the day. What is a good town that is similar driving distances for the both of us?

Answer 1

Centerville would be the best bet for equal driving, but I recommend giving and taking between Fairfield and Madisonville.  The former is, closer to Dallas, has a nearby state park for y'all to hang out.  Madisonville is a bigger town, closer to Houston, and have more variety of places to hang out.
