Corre hacia el norte por 7th Street durante 1,2 millas (1,9 km) hasta una intersección en T con FM 3181 al norte de la ciudad. [3]
La FM 401 fue designada el 26 de noviembre de 1969, a lo largo de la ruta actual. [2]
El 25 de junio de 1945 se designó una ruta anterior numerada FM 401 en el condado de Lubbock , desde la US 84 , 2 millas (3,2 km) al noroeste de Shallowater , hasta la línea del condado de Hale . El 9 de julio de ese año, se extendió hacia el norte hasta el condado de Hale hasta la FM 54. La FM 401 se canceló el 20 de agosto de 1964 y su kilometraje se transfirió a la FM 179. [ 2]
Farm to Market Road 402 ( FM 402 ) es una ruta de 16,3 millas de largo (26,2 km) en el condado de Terry . La carretera comienza en una intersección con FM 213 y County Road 856 aproximadamente una milla y media (2,4 km) al oeste de la ciudad de Wellman . FM 402 se dirige al norte con dos ligeras curvas en S hacia el oeste antes de cruzarse con US 82 / US 380 diez millas (16 km) al oeste de Brownfield . La carretera llega al asentamiento de Johnson antes de curvarse hacia el este en FM 3262 y luego curvarse nuevamente hacia el norte para llegar a su terminal en FM 303. [ 5]
La carretera se creó el 25 de junio de 1945, y se extendía desde lo que entonces era la US 62 y la US 380 hasta la comunidad de Johnson por una longitud de tres millas (4,8 km). El 16 de diciembre de 1948, la carretera se extendió hacia el sur hasta un punto al oeste de Wellman, que ahora es el actual término sur de la carretera. El 17 de diciembre de 1952, la carretera se extendió hacia el norte pasando Johnson hasta un punto a lo largo de lo que entonces era la FM 300 (ahora FM 211), lo que elevó la longitud de la carretera a 22,3 millas (35,9 km). Sin embargo, el 24 de febrero de 1953, la FM 300 se haría cargo de las seis millas (9,7 km) más al norte de la FM 402, lo que dio lugar a la configuración que sigue la FM 402 en la actualidad. Esta sección de la FM 300 pasó a denominarse FM 303 el 10 de febrero de 1966. [4]
Farm to Market Road 403 ( FM 403 ) se encuentra en los condados de Gaines y Terry en el oeste de Texas. La carretera de 17,2 millas (27,7 km) comienza en una intersección con SH 83 y County Road 664 en el noreste del condado de Gaines y viaja hacia el norte a través del condado durante tres millas (4,8 km) antes de hacer una curva en S hacia el oeste donde ingresa al condado de Terry. La carretera hace otra curva en S hacia el oeste antes de cruzar FM 213 y pasar por la comunidad de Foster antes de terminar en la línea límite de la ciudad de Brownfield en una intersección con US 62 / US 385 y SH 137. [ 7]

La carretera Farm to Market Road 404 ( FM 404 ) existió desde 1945 hasta 1990 en el sureste de Texas. El extremo sur de la carretera siempre había estado en Green Lake en la SH 35. Desde el momento de su designación el 12 de junio de 1945, hasta el 9 de julio del mismo año, su extremo norte estaba en la línea divisoria entre los condados de Calhoun y Victoria (la carretera se encontraba íntegramente en el condado de Calhoun). El 9 de julio, la carretera se extendió hacia el norte a través de Bloomington y Pleasant Valley hasta la ciudad de Victoria en la US 87. [ 9] El 16 de octubre de 1951, la FM 404 comenzó a señalizarse (pero no a designarse) como una extensión de la SH 185. [10] El 29 de agosto de 1990, toda la ruta fue designada oficialmente como SH 185 y la FM 404 fue cancelada. [8]
Farm to Market Road 405 ( FM 405 ) es una ruta de 8,5 millas (13,7 km) en el condado de Walker . El término sur de la carretera está en la US 190 cerca de la comunidad de Dodge y dentro de los confines del Bosque Nacional Sam Houston . La ruta se dirige al norte a través de tierras no incorporadas (principalmente bosques de pinos) antes de terminar en la ciudad de Riverside en la SH 19. [ 12] Fue creada el 11 de junio de 1945. [11]
Farm to Market Road 406 ( FM 406 ) es una ruta de 3,9 millas de largo (6,3 km) que va desde SH 289 en la comunidad de Fink hasta FM 84 en el norte del condado de Grayson , justo al sur del lago Texoma y la frontera estatal de Oklahoma . [14] La designación fue asignada el 26 de octubre de 1983, entre FM 120 en Fink hasta FM 84, similar a cómo corre hoy (pero con una longitud total de 4,0 millas (6,4 km)). [13]
La primera FM 406 existió desde 1945 hasta 1962. Era una carretera de norte a sur ubicada en el condado de Orange al oeste de Orange . En el momento de su designación el 11 de junio de 1945, viajaba desde SH 87 hasta la comunidad de Peveto. El 29 de octubre de 1953, la carretera se extendió hacia el noreste por 1,3 millas (2,1 km) lo que elevó la longitud total de la carretera a 7,5 millas (12,1 km). Esta extensión anteriormente era FM 1137. El 29 de septiembre de 1954, la carretera se extendió al noreste hasta FM 1130. El 27 de abril de 1955, la carretera de Peveto a FM 1130 fue rediseñada como FM 1078. La ruta completa se eliminó el 1 de mayo de 1962, cuando fue reemplazada por SH 62. [ 13]
La carretera 407 de la granja al mercado ( FM 407 ) se encuentra en los condados de Wise y Denton . Va desde la US 81 / US 287 en New Fairview hasta la I-35E / US 77 en Lewisville . Coincide brevemente con la FM 156 .
El 11 de junio de 1945 se designó una ruta anterior numerada como FM 407, desde Orange hacia el norte durante 2,3 millas (3,7 km). La FM 407 se canceló el 10 de diciembre de 1946, ya que pasó a formar parte de la SH 87 desviada . La antigua ruta de la SH 87 se convirtió en FM 1559 al completarse, pero se transfirió a FM 1130 en 1950 y se eliminó del sistema de carreteras estatales el 27 de junio de 1962.
Farm to Market Road 408 ( FM 408 ) es una ruta de 3,2 millas (5,1 km) en el condado de Orange , que conecta Bridge City en FM 1442 (Roundbunch Road) con Orangefield en FM 105 (Orangefield Road). La autopista comienza en su extremo sur a lo largo de Miller Drive y viaja hacia el norte. Después de salir de los límites de la ciudad, la carretera hace una curva inversa hacia el oeste y continúa viajando hacia el norte. Pasa por el centro de Orangefield antes de terminar en FM 105, que está dentro de los límites de la ciudad de Orange . [17]
La FM 408 fue designada el 11 de junio de 1945, desde la SH 87 (ahora SH 73 , SH 87 y Texas Avenue) en Bridge City, hacia el oeste por Roundbunch Road, y luego a lo largo de su ruta actual hasta Orangefield, terminando justo al sur de su terminal actual. En la década de 1940, se propuso que la ruta se señalizara como una carretera estatal, pero se volvió a designar como una ruta FM. Se extendió hacia el norte el 12 de enero de 1966, debido a la reubicación de la FM 105, y se truncó a su terminal sur actual el 13 de septiembre de 1987, con la FM 1442 reemplazando la sección eliminada. [16]
Farm to Market Road 409 ( FM 409 ) es una designación que se ha utilizado cuatro veces. El uso actual es en el condado de Fannin , desde FM 2029 , una milla y media (2,4 km) al sur de Telephone , hasta FM 100. [ 19]
La FM 409 fue designada el 16 de marzo de 1982, desde la FM 2029 hasta el arroyo Bois D'Arc . Se extendió hasta la FM 100 el 22 de septiembre de 1982.
El primer uso de la designación FM 409 fue en el condado de Orange , desde la SH 87 al oeste hasta la FM 408 en Orangefield. La FM 409 se canceló el 29 de enero de 1953 y se transfirió a la FM 105. Tenga en cuenta que la FM 409 usaba Cormier Road al este de la FM 408, porque la ruta actual de la FM 105 hacia el norte no se había construido.
El segundo uso de la designación FM 409 fue en el condado de Briscoe , desde FM 598, 4,3 millas (6,9 km) al norte de la línea del condado de Floyd, al oeste hasta la línea del condado de Swisher. Sin embargo, FM 145 se extendió hacia el este hasta la línea del condado de Swisher-Briscoe ese mismo día. El 1 de noviembre de 1954, FM 409 se convertiría en parte de FM 145 cuando se completara la construcción de la extensión de FM 145 y de FM 409, lo que sucedió el 1 de octubre de 1955. [20]
El tercer uso de la designación FM 409 fue en los condados de Potter y Randall , desde el límite sur de la ciudad de Amarillo a lo largo de Bell Street hacia el sur hasta US 60/US 87. La FM 409 se canceló el 29 de septiembre de 1977 y se eliminó del sistema de carreteras.

Viaja hacia el norte llegando a una coincidencia de 180 pies (55 m) con la US 271 entre Deport y Bogata . FM 410 continúa hacia el norte intersectando algunas carreteras locales y otras de granjas a mercados antes de ingresar a Detroit . A través de la ciudad, FM 410 lleva el nombre de 1st Street y también se cruza con la US 82. Cerca de los límites del norte de la ciudad, la carretera pasa por la escuela secundaria de Detroit . La carretera continúa hacia el norte formando una confluencia de 380 pies (116 m) con FM 195 antes de que FM 410 continúe hacia el norte hacia Red River . A medida que se acerca al río y la frontera estatal de Oklahoma , FM 410 comienza a curvarse hacia el este y luego hacia el sureste. La carretera termina en FM 195 cerca de la comunidad de Blakeney. [22]
Cuando se designó el 22 de junio de 1945, la FM 410 corría desde la US 82 en Detroit hasta Kanawha, al norte de Woodland. La carretera se extendería cinco millas (8,0 km) al sur desde Detroit el 23 de mayo de 1951, antes de extenderse al norte y al sur el 18 de diciembre del mismo año. La carretera se extendió al sur 3,3 millas (5,3 km) hasta la FM 411 cerca de Fulbright y al norte 7,4 millas (11,9 km) hasta West Scrap (ahora conocida como Kiomatia). Después de hacerse cargo de la sección norte-sur de la FM 411 desde Fulbright hasta la US 271 el 16 de enero de 1953, la carretera se extendió más al sur hasta Morris Chapel el 26 de octubre de 1954. El 2 de mayo de 1962, la FM 410 se extendió desde West Scrap hasta la FM 862 (12,0 millas (19,3 km)). El 24 de mayo de 1962, la carretera se extendió hasta la intersección más oriental con FM 195, reemplazando a FM 862 (3,1 millas (5,0 km)). En septiembre de 1968, su terminal sur se trasladó 4,4 millas (7,1 km) al sur y al oeste para terminar en FM 196. [21]
Toda la ruta está en el condado de Red River .

Designada el 22 de junio de 1945, la FM 411 originalmente corría desde la US 271 al este de Deport y se dirigía al norte por lo que ahora es la FM 410, luego viajó al este por su ruta actual, antes de dirigirse al noreste hacia Clarksville por lo que ahora es la SH 37. En un momento, toda esta ruta fue designada como una carretera estatal; se desconoce si la carretera alguna vez estuvo señalizada como tal. El 30 de marzo de 1952, la SH 37 fue designada en su alineación actual, dejando a la FM 411 para que solo corriera desde la US 271 hasta la SH 37. El 16 de enero de 1953, la FM 410 reemplazó la parte norte-sur de la FM 411. [23]

[35]
La carretera fue designada por primera vez el 11 de junio de 1945, recorriendo 2,8 millas (4,5 km) al suroeste desde Shelbyville. El 14 de julio de 1949, la carretera se extendió más al oeste hasta lo que entonces era una ruta propuesta de la US 96 (la US 96 en ese momento corría a lo largo de la SH 87), lo que elevó la longitud total a 7,1 millas (11,4 km). El 28 de abril de 1950, la FM 417 se acortó en 0,4 millas (0,64 km) al ser desviada hacia Choice . El 29 de octubre de 1953, la FM 417 se extendió al suroeste hasta la US 96.

Farm to Market Road 446 (FM 446) connects the Victoria area to oil fields southwest of the city. The 8.9-mile-long (14.3 km) highway begins at an intersection with Kemper City Road in a rural area of the county. The area which was once part of multiple oil fields[9] is now made up of brush and a low density of homes. The road heads northeast crossing Boggy Creek and having an intersection with the divided US 59/US 77. As the road gets closer to the city limits, the number of homes that surround the road increases but FM 446 ends at an intersection with US 77 Bus. before reaching the city.[111] The road's designation was applied on July 9, 1945, as a 2.5-mile-long (4.0 km) spur from US 77 (now US 77 Bus.) outside of Victoria. On November 23, 1948, the road was extended southwest 7 miles (11 km) to end at Fleming School; it has not been changed significantly since then.[110]
Farm to Market Road 447 (FM 447) is a 5.4-mile-long (8.7 km) route in Victoria County that acts as a connector between FM 236 in Mission Valley and US 87 in Nursery. It begins northwest of the city of Victoria and heads northeast. After crossing the Guadalupe River and passing the South Texas Electric Cooperative's Red Gate Power Plant, the road curves to the north before ending at US 87.[113]
FM 447 was designated on July 9, 1945, to run from Lower Mission Valley Road (near the Guadalupe River) to US 87 in Nursery. On November 23, 1948, it was extended 1.4 miles (2.3 km) southwest to Upper Mission Valley Road (later FM 1515, now FM 236).[112]
Farm to Market Road 448 (FM 448) is a 13.7-mile-long (22.0 km) route connecting Winchester in Fayette County with Giddings in Lee County. The road begins in the center of Winchester at an intersection with FM 153. It heads north-northeast out of the community paralleling a Union Pacific railroad.[115] After crossing into Lee County, FM 448 crosses the aforementioned railroad at Northrup and continues heading north further away from the railroad. The road intersects FM 2239 at the latter's eastern terminus before heading back towards the northeast, crossing the railroad again, and entering Giddings city limits. At South Main Street (US 77), FM 448 reaches its northern terminus.[116]
FM 448 was designated on June 11, 1945, running from Northrup to Giddings, and was extended to Winchester on October 31, 1957.[114]

On October 17, 1966, the section of FM 450 from FM 449 to FM 2208 was transferred to FM 449. Also, the section of FM 2208 from FM 450 to what was then FM 2657 was transferred to FM 449. FM 2657 from FM 449 to US 259 was replaced by FM 449.
Farm to Market Road 450 (FM 450) is a 30.6-mile-long (49.2 km) route that runs through Harrison, Marion, and Upshur counties in northeastern Texas. It begins in western Harrison County at the intersection of FM 968 and FM 2625 (the latter also ends here) and travels north towards Hallsville. Before reaching the city limits, FM 450 interchanges I-20 at its exit 604. Heading north into Hallsville, it intersects US 80 in the center of the city. At Carterville, FM 450 forms a concurrency with FM 449 and FM 2208. The FM 449 concurrency is about 0.1-mile-long (0.16 km) while the FM 2208 concurrency is much longer. The two highways cross the Little Cypress Bayou. Before reaching Harleton, FM 2208 breaks off the concurrency towards the east while FM 450 continues into the community where it reaches SH 154.[120]
In Harleton, FM 450 and SH 154 together head west for 0.2 miles (0.32 km) until FM 450 breaks off to head northwest. This section of the road passes through wooded areas in northwestern Harrison County. The road forms a concurrency with FM 726 just south of the Lake O' the Pines. FM 726 provides access to the southern shoreline of the lake. FM 450 continues northwest where it briefly enters Marion County. Most of the roads that intersect FM 450 provide access to a small community on the lake's western shore. FM 450 heads into Upshur County and shortly thereafter the city of Ore City. The highway ends at an intersection with US 259 and FM 1649.[120]
FM 450 was designated on June 11, 1945, running as a road connecting Harleton to Smyrna, a small settlement located south of the modern-day FM 726 intersection. On November 23, 1948, the road was extended south to Hallsville bringing the length to 13.4 miles (21.6 km). On July 15, 1949, the road was brought north to Ore City partially via what had been Spur 162. The last extension occurred on October 15, 1954, when FM 450 was routed south of Hallsville and assumed its current length.[119] By 2016, FM 450 was rerouted north of FM 449 to go via a more straight path.[121]

Starting at County Road 706, the route heads north for about a mile (1.6 km), curves to the east, then to the north again. At the settlement of Delwin, FM 452 reaches the southern terminus of FM 2278. FM 452 turns to the east and travels for four miles (6.4 km) to end at US 83.[125] The road was designated on July 9, 1945, running only along the east–west portion from Delwin to US 83. On October 31, 1958, the road was extended 2.5 miles (4.0 km) to the south and west to end at its current endpoint.[124]
Farm to Market Road 453 (FM 453) is a 9-mile-long (14 km) route in western Wheeler County. Starting at I-40's exit 152 and County Road 6, the highway heads due north through ranch and agricultural lands. Near the southern end, it crosses the North Long Dry Creek. The highway terminates at FM 2473 where it makes a reverse curve.[127] FM 453 was designated on July 9, 1945, running from what was then US 66 (between McLean and Lela) north for 6.2 miles (10.0 km); the remaining three miles (4.8 km) was brought under state maintenance on May 2, 1962.[126]
Farm to Market Road 454 (FM 454) is a designation that was used four times. No highway currently uses the FM 454 designation.
The first use of the FM 454 designation was in Montague County, from Bowie southwest for five miles (8.0 km). This designation was cancelled five months later, as the proposed route followed SH 59, in which that portion was designated on January 10, 1945.
The second iteration of the FM 454 designation was in Yoakum County, from SH 328 (now SH 83) north through Allred and east to SH 214. FM 454 was cancelled on December 20, 1963; the section from SH 214 to FM 1622 was returned to Yoakum County and the section from FM 1622 to SH 83 was transferred to FM 1622.[128]
The third use of the FM 454 was in Rusk County on a loop route from US 259 to US 259 in Henderson. FM 454 was cancelled on September 29, 1987, and transferred to Loop 571.[128]
The fourth designation of FM 454 was a 0.4-mile-long (0.64 km) route near Rockwall. The road, which carried the name of Tandem Trail, traveled from SH 276 to FM 551. It was designated on November 29, 1989. When construction was complete, FM 454 was cancelled. No TxDOT order cancelling FM 454 has been found.[129]

On November 20, 1951, it was extended southeast to FM 51, replacing FM 1657. On March 15, 1952, FM 455 was extended eastward to a road intersection 3.6 miles (5.8 km) east of U.S. Highway 77 (US 77), replacing FM 425. Part of that road was numbered as FM 1656 earlier. On June 25, 1952, the road was from rerouted on its current route from the Montague/Wise County Line to a road intersection west of Greenwood; part of the old route from west of Greenwood to FM 51 was renumbered as FM 1204. On January 29, 1953 (unnumbered when first designated on December 17, 1952), FM 455 was extended east 3.0 miles (4.8 km) to the end of FM 1829. It replaced FM 1829 from that intersection to what is now US 377, FM 427 from what is now US 377 to FM 543, the section of FM 543 from there to what is now SH 5, and FM 1376 from what is now SH 5 to Westminster. On October 31, 1957, FM 455 was extended east to SH 160 in Desert. On April 29, 1959, the eastern terminus was changed to FM 545. On July 26, 1963, the section from SH 5 to FM 545 was renumbered as FM 2862 and it was extended east to SH 121 on a different route. On June 2, 1967, it was extended east to FM 2862. On November 26, 1969, it was extended southwest 2.5 miles (4.0 km) from SH 59 in Montague. In 1987, Lake Ray Roberts was completed and FM 455 was rerouted over the dam, completing two new routes: FM 1190 (which was designated from FM 455 eastward to the Lake Ray Roberts marina) and FM 1192 (which was designated from the east side of the lake, through Pilot Point to its connection with the original FM 455 at US 377).[130]
Farm to Market Road 456 (FM 456) is a two-and-a-half-mile-long (4.0 km) route in Matagorda County.

Farm to Market Road 457 (FM 457) (designated as the Sergeant Joe Parks Jr. Memorial Highway)[134] is located in Matagorda County. The road is 27.8 miles (44.7 km) long and connects Bay City with the coastline of the Gulf of Mexico, specifically the at Matagorda Peninsula. The highway begins at an intersection with SH 35 in the eastern reaches of Bay City and travels east. In the area of Caney, it passes near the Bay City Municipal Airport and intersects FM 2540. It continues east but begins to curve towards the southeast in Cedar Lane where FM 457 then intersects FM 521. After passing Gainesmore, Hawkinsville, and FM 2611 at its western terminus, FM 457 passes through the community of Sargent, crosses the Sargent Swing Bridge, a pontoon-style swing bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway,[135] and ends on the Matagorda Peninsula not far from a beach on the Gulf of Mexico. The entire highway is also known as the Sergeant Joe Parks, Jr. Memorial Highway.[136]
The highway was created on June 25, 1945, running from Bay City to Gainesmore. On March 20, 1946, the highway was extended to southeast of Sargent bringing the total mileage of the road to 25.8 miles (41.5 km). On December 17, 1952, FM 457 was further extended southeast to the Gulf of Mexico taking over what had been State Highway 330. SH 330 was a 0.1-mile-long (160 m) highway that existed from May 1940 until its absorption by FM 457 and only consisting of the bridge (constructed as a wooden swing bridge at the time) over the Intracoastal Waterway.[137][134]
TxDOT is currently in the process of replacing the swing bridge, the last in the entire state, with a fixed concrete span with helix roads on both ends to allow for clearance over the canal. The process to begin the replacement began in September 2013 and completion is expected in 2020.[138][139]
The entire route is in Matagorda County.
Farm to Market Road 458 (FM 458) is a 5.7-mile-long (9.2 km) route near the western border of Matagorda County.

Starting at SH 85 three miles (4.8 km) east of Big Wells, it heads southeast to an intersection with FM 469 outside of Cotulla. After this intersection, the number of commercial business that dot the highway increase until it reaches I-35 at its exit 67. Now within the city limits past the Interstate, FM 468 heads through the city on Leonard Avenue and Leona Street through a residential neighborhood to its end at Main Street (Business Loop I-35).[163]
FM 468 was once much longer that it is now; it included segments east and southeast of Cotulla. At the time of its designation on June 25, 1945, the road included a 2.5-mile (4.0 km) segment running northwest from US 81 (current Bus. I-35) and another segment 8.3-mile-long (13.4 km) southeast of the city running parallel to the Nueces River. On December 16, 1948, FM 468 was extended northwest to Woodward.

It was extended southeast 4.0 miles (6.4 km) on September 21, 1955, 0.3 miles (0.48 km) on September 27, 1960. Eastern segment was relocated from US 81 (now Business I-35) on June 25, 1965. At its longest length, FM 468 had a length of 46.8 miles (75.3 km) (both the eastern and western segments) from 1965 to 1976. January 29, 1976, is when the eastern segment was transferred to FM 624 leaving only the SH 85–Cotulla segment intact.[162]
Farm to Market Road 469 (FM 469) is located in La Salle County. The 48-mile-long (77 km) two-lane road is shaped as a long loop around the north side of Cotulla with inconsistent directional signage throughout. The western terminus of the road is at FM 468 two miles (3.2 km) northwest of Cotulla. It heads northwest first to the community of Woodward before turning to the northeast. In the community of Millett, FM 469 has an interchange with I-35 at its exit 77. Heading in an east-southeast direction, the road reaches the community of Los Angeles, where it crosses SH 97. The road continues south for eight miles (13 km), turns to the west for five miles (8.0 km), and south again for just under three miles (4.8 km) to its western end at FM 624.[165]
At the time of its creation on June 25, 1945, the road was only 4.3-mile-long (6.9 km) and traveled from northeast of Woodward to US 81 in Millett. In the mid 1950s, the road was extended four times: 9.3 miles (15.0 km) to the southeast from Millett on January 29, 1953 (total length 13.6 miles (21.9 km)) (taking over FM 1895), an extension at its west end to FM 468 on October 28, 1953 (taking over FM 1684), to 5.6 miles (9.0 km) from its current terminus on November 13, 1954 (taking over FM 1919), and to its current eastern terminus October 31, 1957.[164]

The northern end was truncated to Loop 1604 by 2018 when the portion of the road between Loop 1604 and the Leon Valley city limits was removed from the state highway system while the portion inside Leon Valley was resigned as Spur 471 when the Project Acceptance Letter for project CSJ 0849-01-047 was sent as part of TxDOT's San Antonio turnback program.[172]
The first iteration of FM 471 existed from July 9, 1945, to August 1949 in Frio County. For most of its existence, it traveled from SH 84 in Dilley to Divot. On July 22, 1949, the route was extended north from Divot for five miles (8.0 km) to near Batesville, however on August 25, the entire road was transferred to FM 117. Note that this FM 471 (as well as FM 117) was planned as early as March 26, 1942, both to replace part of SH 55, which all of FM 117 was part of.[171]

Farm to Market Road 476 (FM 476) connects the outskirts of Somerset, Bexar County to Pleasanton, Atascosa County via Poteet. About one-third of the road travels and is signed north and south, this is the portion between FM 2790 and FM 2504. From this point, the road heads generally in an east-southeast direction towards Poteet where it has a concurrency with SH 16 and another concurrency through downtown Poteet with Loop 282. Continuing southwest, FM 476 enters the city of Pleasanton where it intersects Spur 242 and heads south along Bryant Street. It ends at SH 97 southwest of the downtown.[181]
The road was created on July 9, 1945, as a spur road running from Pleasanton running 6.5 miles (10.5 km) towards Poteet. On December 17, 1946, the road was slightly extended to reach Poteet. FM 476 was extended much further west and north to Bexar County near Somerset on May 25, 1953, by taking over the former FM 1100. FM 476 ran through Pleasanton was along what is now Spur 242 and ended at US 281; the routing was changed to Bryant Avenue on July 16, 1965.[180]
A spur of FM 476 existed in Poteet along School Drive from March 21, 1963, to December 30, 1988. This road became the main route of FM 476, while the main route of FM 476 became FM 3498.[180]

Farm to Market Road 482 (FM 482) is a 7.5-mile-long (12.1 km) route located in Comal County. Running as an east–west road between the cities of Schertz and New Braunfels, the road generally parallels I-35 between its exits 177 and 184. It begins at the northbound I-35 frontage road at exit 177 and heads to the north. At FM 2252, the road turns to become more parallel to the Interstate and heads through more rural areas of the city. FM 482 exits the city limits of Schertz and begins to skirt around the limits of New Braunfels as it passes near housing developments, trailer parks, and an apartment complex. Around the settlement of Solms, FM 482 merges with the route of former US 81. It ends fully inside the city limits of New Braunfels at the southbound frontage road to I-35 about one mile (1.6 km) later.[201] The road was created on July 9, 1945, from the vicinity of its western terminus to US 81 in Solms. When US 81 was relocated to what is now the right-of-way of I-35 on October 30, 1957, FM 482 was extended another mile to its current eastern terminus.[200]
Farm to Market Road 483 (FM 483) was located northeast of downtown New Braunfels. It was designated on July 9, 1945, from US 81 to San Geronimo School.[202] Upon the construction and designation of newer roads, FM 483 would run between the northbound frontage road of I-35 and FM 1101.[204] Around 2006, construction began on the New Braunfels Town Center at Creekside shopping center, which led to the truncation of FM 483 at an access road through the center.[205] Due to the extension of nearby FM 306 from I-35 to FM 1101, FM 483 was cancelled on May 27, 2010.[203] Street signs still say "FM 483".[citation needed]

Starting at SH 53 near Zabcikville, the road heads east, southeast, and east again through mostly agricultural lands passing small settlements along the way. About two-fifths of the trip in, it intersects US 77. The road heads through areas of again farmland but the density of woods increases as it approaches the Brazos River. FM 485 crosses the river, has a short concurrency with FM 1644, and enters the city limits of Hearne. After passing through some residential neighborhoods of the northern reaches of the city, FM 485 ends at an intersection with US 79 and SH 6.[209]
The road was created on July 12, 1945, running from Yarrellton (the location of the modern-day FM 1915) to Splawn at US 77 and then-US 190. On November 20, 1951, the FM 485 was extended south from Yarrellton to Buckholts at US 190. A 3.2-mile (5.1 km) extension of the road southwest of Buckholt occurred on October 31, 1958, but was truncated by one mile (1.6 km) on January 31, 1961. On October 3, 1966, the portion of the road from Buckholt to Yarrellton was redesignated FM 1915 while FM 485 took over the route of part of FM 2269. On March 31, 1975, US 190 was moved to a routing further south between Cameron and Hearne; FM 485 took over the route of US 190 between US 77 and US 79 at that time.[208]

Farm to Market Road 488 (FM 488) is 18.2 miles (29.3 km) in length and is located in Freestone County. The road begins at US 84 (East Commerce Street) east of downtown Fairfield (but still within the city limits) and travels east and northeast along Main Street. Northeast of the city limits, FM 488 curves more to the north at an intersection where FM 2570 heads off to the north-northeast. The road passes a railroad balloon loop which provides an unloading point for coal to the Big Brown Coal Plant and FM 833. It also passes the Freestone Energy Center (a natural gas-powered generating station) and FM 1124. After the road's intersection with FM 417's eastern terminus, the road descends in elevation to travel along the bottom of the dam restraining the Richland-Chambers Reservoir. After a bridge that spans the Richland Creek (immediately downstream of the dam), FM 488 ends at an intersection with US 287.[217] The route of the highway at the time of its designation on July 9, 1945, consisted of a spur road from Fairfield north for about 14.0 miles (22.5 km). It was extended north to US 287 on February 27, 1948.[216]
Farm to Market Road 489 (FM 489) is a 33-mile-long (53 km) route in Limestone and Freestone counties. Starting at SH 164 near Personville, the road travels northeast through Limestone County for about one-half mile (0.80 km) before heading east through Freestone County for the rest of its route. In the settlement of Freestone, FM 489 shares a 0.4-mile (0.64 km) concurrency with FM 80. Heading through Dew, the road passes over I-45 without an interchange but intersects SH 179 and SH 75 (the former providing access to the Interstate). Heading past Lanely where it intersects FM 1848, FM 489 begins to curve to the north and intersects US 84 in the settlement of Red Lake. The highway continues northwest of the U.S. Highway for just under two miles (3.2 km) but curves to the northeast past that point. It ends at the intersection of County Roads 240, 241, and 271.[219]
When the road was created on July 9, 1945, it traveled a distance of 4.5 miles (7.2 km) from Dew toward the vicinity of Oakwood in Leon County. On May 31, 1955, FM 1368 and FM 1915 were combined into portions of FM 489 such that it now ran from SH 164 to Lanely. On December 10, 1956, FM 489 took over the routing of FM 1980 to bring the eastern terminus of the route to US 84 (the connecting section was designated on November 21). The last extension north of US 84 occurred on September 27, 1960, with FM 489 being routed over previously unnumbered roads.[218]
Farm to Market Road 490 (FM 490) is a 69-mile-long (111 km) route in Starr, Hidalgo, and Willacy counties. Beginning at FM 755 between Rio Grande City and La Gloria, the road heads east through a rural area comprising farm lands and oil wells. The road eventually leaves Starr County for Hidalgo and comes to the community of McCook where some small businesses, homes, and churches are found. In this town, a two-mile-long (3.2 km) concurrency begins with FM 681. In the vicinity of the road's interchange with I-69C/US 281, it briefly enters the Edinburg city limits and passes the entrance to South Texas International Airport at Edinburg. East of here, the road begins to make successive 90-degree bends but still maintains an overall heading of east. FM 490 then passes through Hargill, where it intersects FM 493.[221]
The remainder of the road through Willacy County passes mainly through unincorporated rural areas no passing through any settlements, though it does pass near Lasara at its intersection with FM 1015. It also passes near Raymondville where it crosses US 77 Bus. Surrounding this intersection are some large stores and housing complexes. East of this intersection, FM 490 has an interchange with I-69E and US 77. Ten miles (16 km) later, the road ends at FM 1420 near the settlement of Willamar.[221]
FM 490 was created on June 26, 1945, running from its intersection with US 281 to the Hidalgo–Willacy county line. On November 11, 1948, it was slightly extended east to FM 88. The next extension occurred on January 20, 1958, when it was extended over the entire length of FM 2059 to end at FM 681. On February 15, 1958, FM 490 was extended over FM 1561 to end at FM 755.

FM 491 was routed through Mercedes on 10th Street and Texas Avenue; a spur to US 83 via Mistletoe Avenue was added on November 20, 1951. The routing through the city was changed on March 27, 1952, by removing the portion of 10th Street and Texas Avenue south of US 83 (part of its business route today) and routing the mainline via the spur road.[222]
Farm to Market Road 492 (FM 492) is a 7.5-mile-long (12.1 km) route located in Hidalgo County. The highway begins at an intersection with Goodwin Road and US 83 Bus. in the city of Palmview. It heads north along Goodwin Road and after intersecting the frontage roads of Interstate 2/US 83, the highway exits the city limits of Palmview and jogs to the right at Three Mile Road and FM 1924 before traveling north again on Doffing Road. It intersects FM 676 at the latter's western terminus before FM 492 terminates at FM 2221 (Mile 7 Road).[225]
The highway was created on June 26, 1945, running from what is still its southern terminus (though the intersecting highway was mainline US 83 at the time) north for three miles (4.8 km) to Three Mile Road. On May 23, 1951, the road was extended north to its current northern terminus and then east along current FM 2221 to FM 681. On January 7, 1987, the east–west portion between FM 2221 and FM 681 was transferred to FM 2221 leaving FM 492 on its current routing.[224] The section of FM 492 south of FM 1924 was redesignated Urban Road 492 (UR 492) on June 27, 1995.[226][225] The designation of that segment reverted to FM 492 with the elimination of the Urban Road system on November 15, 2018.[45]
Farm to Market Road 493 (FM 493) is 30 miles (48 km) in length and is located in Hidalgo County. Its southern terminus is at the Donna Texas Port of Entry, which provides access to the Donna–Río Bravo International Bridge. Starting out as a four-lane divided highway, the road heads east then turns to the north intersecting US 281. North of here, the road narrows to two lanes and travels through agricultural land. Before entering the city of Donna, the number of residential complexes surrounding the road increases. Inside the city, the road widens to four lanes again (but undivided) surrounded by residential neighborhoods. After crossing US 83 Bus., the road heads through a commercial district in the city. North of its interchange with I-2 and US 83, the road remains four lanes wide and passes through a mix of residences and farm lane. The road narrows to two lanes before curving to due north.[228]
In the census designated place of La Blanca, the road crosses SH 107. The mix of houses and farms is still present as the road passes FM 1925 and has a short concurrency with FM 2812. Residences dwindle north of the concurrency except when FM 493 reaches the community of Hargill where it intersects FM 490 in the town center. The road comes to an end at SH 186 near tracts of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge and the Willacy County line.[228]
FM 493 was created on June 26, 1945, as a road connecting Donna with Run School, about seven and a half miles (12.1 km) south of the city. On December 14, 1956, the road was expanded northward on a new alignment of the road to US 83. On January 21, 1957, the road was extended northward to Hargill at FM 490, replacing FM 890. A 3.4-mile (5.5 km) extension of the road to SH 186 north of Hargill occurred on September 27, 1960.[227]
The entire route is in Hidalgo County.
Farm to Market Road 494 (FM 494) is a 15.3-mile-long (24.6 km) route in Hidalgo County. The road begins at FM 1016 in Mission, about 0.3 miles (0.48 km) from the Rio Grande and the Mexico–United States border. FM 494 begins heading southeast paralleling a Rio Valley Switching Company railroad before it crosses the railroad and continues to the southeast. After passing under FM 396 and the Anzalduas International Bridge, FM 494 enters the city limits of Granjeno before curving to the north and passing through a small portion of McAllen and back into Mission. It intersects FM 1016 again before continuing north on Shary Road through Mission. In Mission, there are intersections with I-2/US 83's frontage roads, US 83 Bus., and SH 495. North of Mission, the highway passes through the city of Palmhurst where it intersects FM 1924. It also briefly follows the eastern border of Alton in the vicinity of FM 676. FM 494 ends at SH 107.[230]
The highway was designated on June 26, 1945, as a 3.5-mile-long (5.6 km) spur south from SH 107. On April 20, 1954, the road was extended further south to Mission at what was then US 83 (now US 83 Bus.) for a total length of 7.4 miles (11.9 km) and further extended to FM 1016 (the current easternmost intersection with FM 1016) on December 14, 1956. The loop through Granjeno was added on July 11, 1968. Except for a small extension at its southern end (western intersection with FM 1016) in 1985, the highway has not had any major changes since then.[229] On June 27, 1995, the route was redesignated Urban Road 494 (UR 494).[231] The designation reverted to FM 494 with the elimination of the Urban Road system on November 15, 2018.[45]

Farm to Market Road 496 (FM 496) is a 3-mile-long (4.8 km) route in Zapata County near the Rio Grande and Mexican border. Beginning near the river bank, it heads northeast first past FM 3074, which leads the community of Falcon Mesa.[235] FM 496 continues northeast past some light industrial businesses and a cemetery.[236] At this point, the two-lane road enters the community of Zapata and expands to four-lanes wide. FM 496 travels for three blocks before ending at an intersection with US 83. The roadway past this point continues as SH 16.[234][236]
FM 496 was designated on July 9, 1945, along its current route and what is now SH 16 to the Zapata–Jim Hogg County line. On August 13, 1945, the road was extended to Hebbronville, and it was further extended to Freer on October 31, 1957, reaching a total length of 92 miles (148 km). FM 496 was shortened to its present length on September 31, 1965, when SH 16 was extended from San Antonio via Freer to Zapata.[234][237]
