Did I read your one day route correctly...Leesvile, LA to Presidio, TX? Google shows that as 840 miles...that’d be a long day on the interstate much less scenic roads.
Anyway, I’m in the Texas Hill Country just north of San Antonio and well familiar with great drives around here to include out west to Big Bend. I would not plan to ever stay in Presidio. Best driving roads are w/in the hill country boundaries...out west is flat and uninspiring—-from a drivers perspective. Big Bend is a beautiful park, but doesn’t sound like you’ll have any time to spend there.
Anyway shoot me a PM and I’ll gouge you up. Like someone said above the sisters, west of Bandera are good but expect to spend hours in there.

I just got back from a 2 week house hunting trip in the Austin area. I can report that the secondary Texas roads are in great shape there. Plus the 70-80mph speed limits are fun. Looks like I will be moving to San Marcos in a few months. Looking forward to hill country drives!
