List of former Texas state highways

Below is a list and summary of some of the deleted state highways (i.e., those with no current routing) as outlined by the Texas Department of Transportation designation files, indicated by having zero current mileage.

SH 1

Main article: Texas State Highway 1

State Highway 1 ran from El Paso through Dallas to Texarkana. It was the first highway designated in 1917. In 1926, the United States Highway System was designated, with US 80 colocated from El Paso to Dallas and US 67 from Dallas to Texarkana. On September 26, 1939, the dual designations were removed, leaving SH 1 only on a small stretch west of Dallas. This section was redesignated as Loop 260 on August 20, 1952. Since that time, the number "may only be assigned by the Executive Director of the Texas Department of Transportation or the Transportation Commission."

SH 2

Main article: Texas State Highway 2

State Highway 2 was designated in 1917, running from Wichita Falls southeast to Fort Worth. The route then split in two at Waco, with one branch travelling southwest through Austin and San Antonio before ending at Laredo, while the eastern branch traveled southeast through Houston, ending at Galveston. The eastern branch was transferred to SH 6 on August 21, 1923, to avoid having two separate highways with the same number. The western route was assigned the US 81 routing in 1926. The co-designation with US 81 was dropped completely on September 26, 1939.

SH 13

Main article: Texas State Highway 13

State Highway 13 was designated in 1917, running through the Texas Panhandle along the Ozark Trail. It generally referenced the routing due west from Amarillo to the New Mexico state line. In 1926, US 66 was co-located along the route. The co-designation was dropped completely on September 26, 1939.

SH 28

State Highway 28 was designated on September 13, 1917, on a route that ran across the southern Texas Panhandle from Farwell to Mineral Wells. On January 20, 1919, a branch, SH 28A, was designated from Crowell through Vernon to the Oklahoma border. By August 21, 1922, a branch to Sagerton was added. On August 21, 1923, the section from Crowell to Sagerton was renumbered as SH 51 and the branch to Jacksboro was renumbered as SH 24, with the section of the branch from Jacksboro to Mineral Wells already part of SH 25. SH 28 was instead rerouted over SH 28A through Vernon to the Oklahoma border. US 70 was co-located along the entire route, except for the small branch northeast of Vernon. This branch was assigned to US 183 in 1939.

On August 4, 1932, SH 28 Loop was designated through Lockney. On August 1, 1936, a SH 28 Spur was added on top of the SH 28 Loop. On November 16, 1937, another SH 28 Spur was designated in Olton. All co-designations with US Routes were removed completely on September 26, 1939. SH 28 Spur and SH 28 Loop became Spur 9 (Olton) and Loop 75 (Lockney).

SH 38

State Highway 38 has been designated three times. The first route was to be designated on May 20, 1918, from Greenville north and east through Honey Grove to the Oklahoma border, but that was deferred. The route was finally designated on June 17, 1918, from Greenville to SH 5 at an unknown point north of Wolfe City. On August 20, 1918, the route was extended to the Red River and was decided to cross SH 5 at Honey Grove. On February 18, 1919, the route extended south to Terrell. On April 20, 1919, the route extended southwest to Ennis. On August 21, 1923, the sections south of Kaufman and north of Greenville were cancelled. On December 17, 1923, this route was cancelled, as it became the northern extension of SH 34. The route was re-designated as a spur from SH 43 to Beckville. On October 20, 1924, this route became part of rerouted SH 8.

The route was re-designated on January 22, 1930, on a route from Sugar Land southeast to Alvin. On June 25, 1930, it extended southeast to Galveston over part of SH 58. SH 38 Spur was designated on April 25, 1933, to Sugarland. On September 26, 1939, this routing became the southern extension of SH 6 when it was rerouted around the western side of Houston. SH 38 Spur was renumbered Spur 58.

SH 38A was designated on February 27, 1919, from Ladonia to Paris. On August 21, 1923, this route was cancelled.

SH 52

State Highway 52 was designated on August 21, 1923, from Hedley through Wellington to the Oklahoma border as a renumbering of a section of SH 13. The March 19, 1930, log only showed the section from Wellington to Oklahoma, but erroneously omitted the section from Wellington to Hedley. On November 30, 1932, the section of SH 52 from Wellington to Hedley was put back on the state highway log. The section west of Wellington was renumbered again as SH 203 on March 13, 1934, and this numbering replaced the rest of SH 52 on September 26, 1945.

SH 58

Main article: Texas State Highway 58

State Highway 58 has been designated twice. It was first designated on August 21, 1923, over a route from Ganado through Bay City, Columbia, and Angleton to a point on the mainland just east of Galveston, replacing SH 19A. On March 19, 1928, the western portion of the route was rerouted to the Army Camp near Palacios from Bay City. The eastern portion was rerouted through Alvin between Angleton and Galveston. on February 20, 1929, the section from Ganado to Midfield was restored as a state highway, with no number, and this was eliminated on March 19, 1930. On June 25, 1930, the route was truncated to end at Alvin as the route from Alvin to Galveston was transferred to SH 38. By 1935, the route designation was canceled, and the highway was added to SH 35 as an extension.

The second designation was in 2009 on a connecting route in Midland. The route in Midland was designated on May 28, 2009. Construction of the new roadway between Cotton Flat Rd. and Carter Ave. began in May 2010. It was completed by June 30, 2011, but it was cancelled that day. This route became Business State Highway 158-B in 2011 when it was rerouted.

SH 69

Not to be confused with Interstate 69 in Texas or U.S. Route 69 in Texas.

State Highway 69 has been designated twice. It was first designated on August 21, 1923, from Cameron to Hearne as a renumbering of SH 36A. By 1933, it received a co-designation with US Route 190. The state designation was removed on September 26, 1939. The second designation was on August 4, 1971, near Eastland as a renumbering of a section of SH 6 when it was rerouted further west. On August 28, 1991, SH 69 extended east to I-20, replacing part of US 80 which was decommissioned west of Dallas. The route was renumbered SH 112 on September 14, 1992, due to numerous thefts of the highway signs.

SH 74

State Highway 74 has been designated twice. It was first designated on August 21, 1923, on a route from Brady through Lampasas to Georgetown as a renumbering of SH 36B. On January 21, 1924, the road was rerouted directly from San Saba to Lometa, with the section of the old route from San Saba to Goldthwaite canceled and the remainder of the old route designated as SH 74A. On June 5, 1933, the section from near the Burnet/Williamson county line to Georgetown was redesignated as SH 195. SH 74 was extended south to SH 29 at Liberty Hill instead. In 1935, US 190 was co-located with the highway from Brady to Lampasas.On July 15, 1935, the section from SH 195 to Liberty Hill was canceled. This section was restored on April 28, 1937 (and is on the March 1, 1936, map). The co-designation was removed on September 26, 1939, leaving the section from Lampasas to Liberty Hill. This section was replaced by US 183 on May 23, 1951, when its route was adjusted through Texas. The second designation was on June 27, 1995, as a route across the southern portion of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. This route, also known as the East-West Connector, has not been constructed, but remains designated. A public meeting took place on July 30, 2015.

SH 74A was designated on January 21, 1924, from Lometa to Goldthwaite to replace part of SH 74, which was rerouted to bypass Goldthwaite. On February 21, 1938, SH 74A Business was designated in Goldthwaite. On September 26, 1939, the route was renumbered SH 284 (now US 183), and SH 74A Business was renumbered as Loop 15.

SH 76

State Highway 76 has been designated twice. It was first designated on August 21, 1923, from Nacogdoches northeast to the Louisiana border as a renumbering of a portion of SH 22. On October 26, 1932, this route had become the eastern extension of SH 7.

That same day, SH 76 was instead proposed on a route from Eagle Pass northeast to Batesville. The route was proposed to be extended further northeast to near Moore on December 22, 1936. On May 19, 1942, the section east of La Pryor was cancelled. On October 25, 1947, It extended to the Mexico border. On September 26, 1950, the section from Eagle Pass to Mexico was transferred to US 277. On October 30, 1964, SH 76 extended northeast to Moore, replacing FM 394 on that route. On August 5, 1966, the route was transferred to SH 57 (now US 57).

SH 88

State Highway 88 was designated on August 21, 1923, as a route across the Texas Panhandle from Clarendon north to the Oklahoma border near Spearman, as a renumbering of SH 33B. On March 28, 1927, the section from Spearman to Pampa was cancelled. On January 18, 1935, SH 88 extended south to Turkey. On July 15, 1935, this extension was cancelled. On April 19, 1938, SH 88 was extended back to Turkey. On May 24, 1938, the route became the northern extension of then-SH 18 (now SH 70).

SH 106

State Highway 106 was designated on May 4, 1925, as a route from Crockett to Corrigan in East Texas. On September 7, 1927, the route was extended southeast to reach Woodville, and was completed by 1936. On September 26, 1939, the route was transferred to US 287, with the Texas Highway designation removed.

SH 109

State Highway 109 has been designated twice. The first route was designated on July 27, 1925, on a new route from Smithville south to Yoakum. On August 10, 1925, it extended to Westhoff. On June 20, 1927, the south end was shortened to Hochheim. On August 1, 1930, the north end was truncated to Flatonia. On September 15, 1930, it was extended back to Smithville. On April 6, 1932, this route had become the southern extension of SH 95.

The route was instead proposed that same day (numbered one day after designation) as a connector route between Bronte and Ballinger, but was not completed until 1940. The route became the new eastern extension of SH 158 on August 16, 1948, due to adjustment to US 277.

SH 113

State Highway 113 was designated on August 24, 1925, as a route from Victoria south across Aransas Bay to Rockport. On February 22, 1928, the section southwest of Austwell was cancelled in exchange for extending SH 59 over most of this portion. On January 22, 1940, SH 113 was truncated to Tivoli. On October 22, 1940, SH 113 was extended back to Austwell. The route became the eastern extension of SH 239 on November 25, 1975.

SH 116

State Highway 116 has been designated twice. The first route was designated on April 12, 1926, on a new route from Dallas due north through Celina to Gunter. On February 24, 1930, SH 116 was extended north to US 82/SH 5. On October 24, 1932, it was rerouted to go northeast from Gunter. On September 19, 1933, it was rerouted to go north from Gunter to near Sherman. On March 26, 1934, it was rerouted to go north directly from Gunter. On April 10, 1934, this route became the northern extension of SH 14.

The route was again designated on March 31, 1955, on an existing route from Lubbock west through Levelland to the New Mexico state line as a renumbering of SH 290, to match the numbering of New Mexico State Road 116 (NM 116), which was renumbered from NM 92 that same day "for the convenience of the traveling public". This route became the western extension of SH 114 on December 14, 1977, and NM 116 was renumbered NM 114.

SH 117

State Highway 117 has been designated twice. The first route was designated on July 13, 1926, from Spearman via Plemons to the Canadian River. On July 26, 1926, it extended to the 6666 Ranch, with the intention of extending it to Panhandle. On March 28, 1927, it extended to Claude, with the portion south of Panhandle replacing the duplicate SH 102, which already existed elsewhere. On February 21, 1928, it extended to Perryton. On March 19, 1930, SH 117 extended to the Oklahoma border, replacing part of SH 136 (which was concurrent with SH 117 from Stinnett to Perryton). The route was renumbered as SH 15 on October 26, 1954, to coordinate with OK 15, which the highway became after crossing the Oklahoma border. The second route was designated on February 23, 1983, on a route from Pleasanton east to Karnes City. The route was never constructed, and was cancelled on October 31, 1996.

SH 120

State Highway 120 was designated on February 14, 1927, as a connector route between Aspermont and Newcastle as a renumbering of the duplicate Texas State Highway 107. In March 1929, the road was not yet taken over east of Newcastle, but that was taken over shortly after that. On June 25, 1929, the west end was truncated to Rule. The extension west to Aspermont was restored on December 1, 1930, but removed again on October 20, 1931. On July 2, 1932, the extension west to Aspermont was added back. On November 30, 1932, the route was completed as a graded earth road, with an extension south to Brad. On July 15, 1935, the route was truncated, so that its east end was in Graham. On November 14, 1935, a section from Brad to Strawn was added, but this did not happen until 1938/1939, when SH 89 between Strawn and Weatherford was surfaced. On June 16, 1936, the section from Graham to Brad was restored, connecting the sections. The route was transferred to SH 24, which was rerouted west, and SH 16 (originally planned to be SH 81), which was extended north, on September 26, 1939.

SH 122

State Highway 122 has been designated twice. The first route designated on August 16, 1926, from Cresson to Cleburne, with a possible extension to Grandview. (numbered as SH 122 on June 21, 1927, from Cresson to Cleburne only; number possibly reserved earlier). On March 18, 1930, SH 122 extended to Weatherford. On July 15, 1935, the north end was truncated back to Cresson. On October 23, 1935, SH 122 extended back to Weatherford. That route was replaced by SH 171 on September 26, 1939. On March 29, 1988, the second route was designated on the Fort Bend Parkway—stretching from Beltway 8 to the Grand Parkway (SH 99). Environmental and feasibility studies were conducted during the next 10 years. On February 27, 2003, the State Highway 122 designation was removed from the section north of State Highway 6, as this section was under construction, but not using state funding. On February 26, 2015, SH 122 was removed from the state highway system, as most of the route south of SH 6 had been built not using state funding.

SH 126

State Highway 126 was designated on November 15, 1927, as a connector route between Knox City and Munday. On March 19, 1930, the route was removed from the state highway list, but was still designated. On August 27, 1935, the route, which was not on the state highway list, was upgraded to a state highway, and renumbered to SH 222.

SH 129

State Highway 129 was designated on January 16, 1928, as a connector route between Brownwood and Rising Star. It was co-located with US 283 in 1934. The co-designation was removed on July 23, 1934, and the route was transferred to SH 23 when it was rerouted further east.

SH 133

State Highway 133 was designated on April 25, 1928, between Moss Hill and Beaumont. The route was still not built by 1933, and was removed as a state highway on July 12, 1933, and reassigned as an eastward extension of SH 105. This section of SH 105 was cancelled on July 15, 1935, as the road was not built. This road was restored as part of SH 105 again on February 11, 1937.

SH 134

State Highway 134 has been designated twice. The first route was designated on May 25, 1928 as a new highway from Lubbock west to the New Mexico border. This route became the western extension of SH 24 on March 19, 1930.

The route was instead designated as the connector route to the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site outside Houston that same day (originally designated on March 19, 1928, as SH 4-21-36). SH 134 was not connected to any other state highway until SH 225 was designated on December 21, 1935. SH 134 was returned to local jurisdiction on December 14, 2006.

SH 139

State Highway 139 has been designated twice. The first route was designated on April 23, 1929, from Corsicana to Palestine. On March 19, 1930, this became part of SH 22 (now US 287) when it was extended.

SH 139 was instead proposed that same day as a connector route between Chilton and Marlin (previously unnumbered; originally designated on August 9, 1926). On September 7, 1943, the route was extended east to the town of Marquez. The route became the western extension of SH 7 on July 15, 1948.

SH 143

State Highway 143 was proposed on November 26, 1929, as a spur from SH 5 to Channing. On November 30, 1932, SH 143 extended south to Dimmitt, and SH 5 was rerouted through Channing. On February 9, 1933, SH 143 extended south to Meadow. On July 16, 1934, the entire route was transferred to SH 51 (now US 385).

SH 145

State Highway 145 has been designated twice. The first SH 145 was designated on March 19, 1930, from Three Rivers to Alice, replacing a split of SH 9 so that SH 9 had only one route south of Three Rivers. On June 24, 1931, the entire route became part of SH 66. On July 15, 1932, a new SH 145 was proposed as a spur from SH 24 south to the town of Princeton. The route was redesignated as Spur 73 on September 26, 1939. The route became part of FM 75 on April 15, 1943, but this section was given to the city of Princeton on February 28, 2019.

SH 157

State Highway 157 was designated on March 19, 1930, as a more direct route between Breckenridge and Throckmorton. It was a renumbering of SH 67A. The route became the northern extension of SH 6 on September 6, 1945.

State Highway 167 was designated on October 21, 1931, as a spur from US 77 to the Monument Hill State Historic Site. The route was redesignated as Spur 92 on May 9, 1940.

The SH 167 designation was assigned on December 13, 2012, as a temporary state highway from SH 267, to US 67/US 377. At 230 feet, it was the shortest main state highway in Texas. The route was eliminated in 2013, when the US 67 relief route was completed.

SH 169

State Highway 169 was designated on August 3, 1932, from Decatur to Gainesville. This became part of SH 89 on November 30, 1932. It was later reused as a proposed freeway in Austin from Loop 1 to I-35 on October 27, 1989, with local support as exhibited by the passage of a referendum election; and the City of Austin's support of a west/east facility in this corridor. The route was formerly Spur 69 and part of RM 2222, and was returned to the previous designations on July 19, 1990, as the agreement was not met.

SH 177

State Highway 177 was designated on September 22, 1932, as a spur between La Ward and SH 58 east of Blessing. In late 1933, the section west of Blessing was cancelled, as SH 111 was rerouted on a road just to the north. On January 9, 1934, SH 177 was cancelled. On April 10, 1934, SH 58, along with SH 57, became part of SH 35. On August 27, 1935, the portion of SH 177 from SH 35 to Blessing was restored. The route was redesignated as Spur 93 (later FM 1727, now FM 616) on May 9, 1940.

SH 181

State Highway 181 was designated on November 30, 1932, as a spur from Gary City east to US 59. This road was SH 8A before March 19, 1930, and this highway was erroneously omitted from the March 19, 1930 state highway log. The route became the eastern extension of FM 999 on June 29, 1950.

SH 187

State Highway 187 was proposed on November 30, 1932, as a connector between Cisco and SH 67 to the northeast. The route became a portion of US 183 when it was rerouted on May 28, 1952.

SH 189

State Highway 189 was proposed on November 30, 1932, as a connector between Catarina and Artesia Wells. The route was never completed, and was removed on July 15, 1935. The route later became a portion of FM 133.

SH 192

State Highway 192 was designated on November 30, 1932, as a connector between Pecos and Fort Stockton. The route became a portion of SH 27 on June 20, 1933, when it was rerouted northwest from Fort Stockton.

SH 196

State Highway 196 was designated on June 20, 1933, as a connector between US 80 in far western Reeves County and Fort Stockton. The route was formerly a portion of SH 27 before it was rerouted northwest from Fort Stockton, replacing SH 192. The route was codesignated with US 290, and the codesignation was removed on September 26, 1939.

SH 197

State Highway 197 was designated on August 16, 1933, as a more direct route between Waxahachie and downtown Dallas. The designation was cancelled on November 24, 1941, because US 77 was rerouted along this route. The old route was renumbered to SH 342.

SH 200

State Highway 200 has been designated twice. The first designation was on November 22, 1933, as a route from Gonzales eastward through Hallettsville to Eagle Lake. On July 15, 1935, SH 200 was cancelled. On October 20, 1936, SH 200 was restored. On September 16, 1937, the section from Hallettsville to Eagle Lake was renumbered as SH 253, and SH 200 was instead rerouted southeast to Wharton. On September 26, 1939, SH 200 extended southwest to SH 80 in Nixon, replacing SH 112. In 1940, the section from Gonzales to Hallettsville was minimally maintained, and the section east of Hallettsville remained unbuilt. On May 29, 1941, the path east of Hallettsville was rerouted back to Eagle Lake, replacing SH 253 (the route to Wharton was never built). This entire route was cancelled on March 28, 1952: the section from Gonzales to Eagle Lake was transferred to US 90A and the section from SH 80 to Gonzales became an extension of SH 97. The second route was designated on February 24, 1988, from Ingleside south to the Corpus Christi Homeport. The route remains unbuilt.

SH 209

State Highway 209 was designated on July 16, 1934, as a connector between Pampa and Borger in the Texas Panhandle. The route became the western extension of SH 152 on June 21, 1938.

SH 212

State Highway 212 was designated on July 31, 1934, as a connector between Cayuga and Fairfield. On September 11, 1934, it extended to Athens. On July 15, 1935, this route was cancelled, and the northern half of this route was transferred to FM 59 in 1942. The rest is now FM 488.

SH 215

State Highway 215 was designated on January 18, 1935 as a connector between Carthage and Mount Enterprise. On July 15, 1935, this route was cancelled. This route was restored on December 22, 1936. On April 28, 1937, this route was cancelled because a feeder road upgrading the existing road between the endpoints was under planning. The feeder road was redesignated as SH 315 on April 1, 1939.

SH 216

State Highway 216 was designated on January 18, 1935 as a connector between Midland and SH 51 (designation accidentally said SH 137) in Andrews County. On February 26, 1935, it was adjusted to end in Ector County. On July 15, 1935, this route was cancelled. On September 4, 1935, this route was submitted as a lateral road project for possible restoration. The section from SH 51 east to the county line was restored on September 22, 1936. On November 24, 1936, an extension to Kermit was proposed. On February 11, 1937, this route was cancelled, and became an extension of SH 158.

SH 219

State Highway 219 was designated on June 11, 1935 as a connector between US 190 in Huntsville and the gravesite of Sam Houston on the north side of Huntsville. The route was redesignated as Spur 94 on May 9, 1940.

SH 221

State Highway 221 was designated on August 27, 1935, as a loop connector for SH 36, giving access to Heidenheimer, replacing State Highway 36A. The route was removed on January 6, 1939, as a more direct route for SH 36 from Temple to Rogers through Heidenheimer (rather than Little River) was completed. The former SH 221 is now mostly FM 93 and FM 436 from "Old 95" (which was actually part of SH 95 in the 1930s) north of Little River to Reed's Lake Road east of Little River.

SH 226
