Welcome to Texas Trails RV Resort
OMGosh can you believe that the season has almost come to a close!!! Larry and I have enjoyed meeting everyone that has come to stay with us here. Larry and I arrived in the middle of October and hit the ground running. It was so great to have Denise and Sandy to help us get adjusted. We hope to spend the summer catching up on everything that we need to know for next season when you arrive. If you have any ideas that you discover on your travels home and want to share or just want to know something please email me at [email protected] . You can keep up with us through Facebook also. We will miss all and hope that you are already making plans to come back. Safe travels! For you full-timers we hope to see you all during the summer!! We have enjoyed meeting you and can’t wait to spend more time with you during the summer. Larry and I will be living vicariously through all your cruises as we will not be able to go on one. We hope to be able to have some pool parties and some card games during the summer. If you have any ideas you want to share with us please feel free to come by the office. We love when you stop to visit us. To everyone, Larry and I plan on being here next season also, so we will be looking ahead at what we can do to keep this park the best park in the Valley!!!

IRISH SHENANEGANS March brings in a month of spring,
When shamrocks grow in a fairy ring, Through the woods and o’er the dale
The wee folks have a hidden trail.
It’s leading to their pot of gold, And many treasures yet untold.
The Leprechauns are watchful there, What they have, they never share.
They see you looking for their hoard, You’ll never find where it is stored.
They dance a jog around a tree, Round and round so wild and free.
They know they’ve tricked you for today,
And very soon you’ll run away. They know one day you may return, That will cause them much concern.
