The only other such mid-sized city in Texas with that type of situation is Corpus Christi, connected to San Antonio by I-37. Of course they're a port city, which doesn't exactly leave them secluded. So Lubbock is at a bit of a disadvantage there.
Funnily when I drove through Texas on i-40 I remember looking at the map and having to do a double take on how i-27 just terminates at Lubbock. I thought it was against federal regulations! Interstates never just end like that in a landlocked area. To be fair, I think it did create a little loop so you can just keep moving, only you'd be backtracking.
