I agree with CCross and Kodiakisland, the Ouchitas are about 4hrs and Ozarks about 6. Pretty close for Texas living. We are up there many times a year to camp. Great hiking, waterfall chasing, wildlife, etc. If you are a backpacker the Ouachita Trail is pretty nice. If you are a motorcyclist, the road quality is very good and planners in the Ozarks didn't like 'straight'. I've also heard many times that there is twice the distance in off-highway surface as compared to paved and you'll believe it once you start exploring. A lot like the fire roads of the Pacific NW.
While writing this my profile pic reminded me of another favourite in Texas proper. Beach camping on Padre National Seashore. It's not everywhere you can drive 60mi down a natural beach and set up camp. About 9hrs from DFW. https://www.nps.gov/pais/index.htm
