we just came east from Phoenix in late November and took I-10E and then diverted onto I-20 thru abilene & dallas to visit family; continued on I-20 to outside Meridian, MS and then went south & picked up I-10E again outside of Mobile, AL and came across I-10 to Jacksonville, FL. Since we did not come across I-10 all the way east, can not speak for the stretch of I-10 thru TX, LA. Watch out for heavy traffic in El Paso area on I-10. hope it helps and safe travels.
