Fr. Zendejas' new chapel in La Marque TX is 2 hours 17 minutes away
Fr. Zendejas' other Texas chapel, the one I manage (St. Dominic's chapel, 20 minutes from San Antonio) is 2 hours, 15 minutes away
I think that's about as good as you're gonna get. Most of the Trad chapels in Texas are near San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, or El Paso. Texas is very big and spread out. But there are stretches of land the size of entire East Coast states that have *zilch*
For example, there's nothing south of San Antonio. Period. If you're near the border, you have to drive up to San Antonio for Mass.
P.S. The only other option I can see is Austin, which is 1 hour 44 minutes away. Considering that you're stepping way down in THREE areas, I don't think shaving off 21% of the drive is worth it:
1. More traffic in and around Austin
2. Austin only has neo-SSPX and Indult
3. Neo-SSPX meets in a hotel, only has Mass twice a month, and is getting a brand-new neo-SSPX priest "formed in the new paradigm" in 2 weeks. Furthermore, the entire chapel (except for one individual) is anti-Resistance; not just neutral.
For that matter, Houston also has quite a bit of traffic. But at least the Mass and priest are solid, they have a church, and weekly Mass. So that would be your #2 choice.
But I'd recommend St. Dominic's as the #1 choice for this person, since we aren't next to any big city, so traffic is always clear. We have the same priest/Mass, weekly Mass, and a permanent location (we might be getting pews very soon). Also, our Mass is at 2:30 PM, whereas Houston has Mass at 8:30 AM. When your drive is 2 1/4 hours, a later Mass is much more convenient.
