That's why we invented airplanes.
A flight ticket could sometimes run you even less than car fuel and most airlines will allow you to transport your defensive tool in a checked bag.
Or heck, buy your own plane and fly armed.

I wish! Generally even advance purchase tickets in to El Paso are 300 plus bucks and I usually have tools and stuff because I am going back to help maintain my moms house. This summer was a chainsaw to whack up the two 60 foot trees in her back yard that toppled over. Need to convince her to move to Houston. Do think that will happen.

Everything said so far is spot on. The only construction you will see is currently the West Side of El Paso is torn up. It's not a long stretch so no big deal. If you want to avoid it take the Paisano highway 54 exit in El Paso and head north. Then take the Transmountain exit, head over the mountain and get back on I10. You will avoid all of the mess.

I make the drive from Houston to El Paso 4 or 5 times a year. 733 miles 11 hours. Although in a pinch I made the trip in 6.5 hours once. Cost me two speeding tickets.... Junction Tx
