BTW the best night sky in the CONUS is either Steens Mountain Wilderness (South Steens Camp) in Oregon, or Tin Mountain Primitive camp in Death Valley.  The best night sky I ever seen in my life was from the deck of a sub at midnight around 63N 4W, although the night sky at 0N 0W wasn’t too shabby either.

Not nearly as dark.

On the other hand, it might be dark enough.  If it is a lot closer (for me, Hallettsville is a lot closer than Galveston) then I would suggest checking it out and seeing if it's dark enough.  Try to go in the dark of the moon, or at least when the moon is crescent not gibbous or full.   I mostly wanted to share the night sky brightness map.  I'm pretty confident that you can see the milky way from the green areas.

A spot much closer, and maybe as dark would be:

My wife and I would like to do a day trip to look at the Milky Way. One website suggested Hallettsville or Sargent Beach. I would be grateful for any suggestions. The next new moon 🌚 will be this Saturday.
