Texans are right now figuring out where to go to recharge their batteries for Spring Break, it's coming up fast. The good news is that you can still visit most of the world. The bad news is that several locations are now under a U.S. travel ban.

So, if you want to take the family to Disney in California... or Florida. Have at it! Planning a road trip to North Dakota? That's cool. But if you plan on doing some serious international adventuring this is information you'll need before you start booking flights.

Texans Warned Do Not Travel To These Locations

The average U.S. citizen doesn't have easy access to the level of violence or civil unrest happening across the globe. So, The United States Department of State regularly reviews travel advisories for us. Based on the findings they then relay to us information on a variety of travel risk concerns, including health, terrorism, and civil instability.

Travel alert levels change due to many issues within a country, including growing civil unrest, human rights-related legislation, or increased risks of wrongful imprisonment.

There are four travel advisory levels. The levels begin at 1, which means you should take regular precautions, up to Level 4, which means this is a place that you should not visit.

Level 1: Exercise normal precautions.
Level 2: Exercise increased caution.
Level 3: Reconsider travel.
Level 4: Do not travel.

U.S. News reports that crime, kidnapping, and terrorism are common risk factors in Level 4 countries. Traveling to these locations may pose major risks to Texans and the American public.

U.S. Government's Updated "Do Not Travel" List

Many people travel at the end of the year for the holidays or to use up vacation days that may expire. These countries have a Level 4: Do Not Travel advisory issued on them by the U.S. Government and should be avoided.
