Welcome to Best Texas Getaways! I’m Paris Permenter and, with my husband and co-author John Bigley, we’d like to invite you to hop along and enjoy a look at some of the best getaways in our home state of Texas.
Longtime guidebook authors and travel writers, we’re based in the Texas Hill Country outside of Austin.
You may know us as the founders of DogTipper.com, our blog featuring tips and dog treat recipes, or from our many Texas guidebooks.
John is a native Texan from Muldoon, near La Grange. With a dad in the military, I moved around more. I’ve lived in El Paso, McGregor, Pilot Point, Georgetown, Austin and Cedar Park.

Recently we’ve had the honor of revising two guidebooks for two Texas writers who are no longer living: John Kelso’s Texas Curiosities and Don Blevins’ Texas Towns.
We’ve also worked on Texas sections for many publishers for their regional guidebooks including:
- Road Guide USA (Fodor’s)
