Went to Blacks (Terry Blacks) today in Austin.
It was incredible, and their setup/workflow is pretty ingenious. Terry seems to have learned from the mistakes of the old school, with his line being a lot more like Rudy's.
No wait at all, and the brisket was nearly as good as Franklin. The beef rib was incredible, and the sides were worth the real estate on the plate. lol.
Side note:
Happened to be wearing my Franklin's shirt, and a big, friendly, Bruce Campbell lookin' guy walked up to me and said "Hey, one of the owners is over there, and he might like to see your shirt!" I replied, "I won't get kicked out for it, will I?" and laughed.

That can be a good way to get a free T-shirt...OR...a messed up order!
Well shoot, I guess I should've actually listened to the guy and walked over.
Can't really add to where the best BBQ in Texas may be, because I have not found it yet. Spent 11 years as a judge for a couple national contests so I do know what I prefer, and North Main in Euless is average at best. Maybe they used to be good, but not worth a drive these days. Hard Eight in Roanoke is not bad if you're in the area. Liked Blacks, Angelo's was good.
Been spending time in Waxahachie. Any good places near there?

Well I am no judge other than what I eat. I have eaten BBQ across America and across the world. When I travel, I look to see if there is any BBQ joints in the cities I pass thru. Ate at one joint that was rated by judges at in the top 10 in the US, been in business since the 40's. My wife (from London England) said this tastes horrible, I agreed and between the 2 of us, we ribs, beef, pork, sausage to capture all the flavors. Neither of us finished and thru it out as we walked past all the magazines articles and trophies for great BBQ. And of course there is Kansas city, yea still trying to find world class BBQ there and flew in the KC ever week on business for a couple of years.
Best I have had in years has been LA BBQ in Austin (old location), eaten there 4, maybe 5 times. They have moved and I have not been back to their new location.

I'm no judge either. But I can usually tell what kind of wood it was smoked with. My personal top 5:
Louie Mueller in Taylor
Luling Citymarket
Opies BBQ in Spicewood
Coopers in Llano (except the brisket)
Blacks BBQ
