Driving distance from Austin, TX to Dallas, TX. The total driving distance from Austin, TX to Dallas, TX is 197 miles or 317 kilometers. Your trip begins in Austin, Texas. It ends in Dallas, Texas.
And Austin traffic is horrible & if you drive through there on a game day or during rush hour, it can add another 20 - 30 minutes to your drive. I've made the trip numerous times. I've been known to take 281 to south of Dallas and then get on 35 to avoid the Austin traffic.
