}}Driftwood is a census-designated place and unincorporated community in northern Hays County, Texas, United States.[1] As of the 2010 census it had a population of 144.[2]

It lies along Farm to Market Road 150, {{convert|15|mi}} northwest of Kyle and {{convert|24|mi}} southwest of downtown Austin. San Marcos, the Hays county seat, is {{convert|25|mi}} south of Driftwood by highway.[3] The community has a post office with the ZIP code of 78619.[4]

Although the earliest settlers arrived in the area now known as Driftwood around 1850, the community was really established in the 1880s. A post office was among the results of the community's significant growth in that decade. Driftwood shrank almost to a ghost town by the early twentieth century; although it grew somewhat by the middle of the century, it returned to its almost-deserted state by the 1970s.[5]

Driftwood is home to The Salt Lick, a relatively well-known barbecue restaurant, Stinson Distilling & Winery, Driftwood Estate Winery, the Wildflower Barn Event Center, Stonehouse Villa Wedding Venue, Vista Brewing and the Lazy 8 Ranch.
