State highways in Texas are owned and maintained by the U.S. state of Texas, through the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).
The Texas State Highway system was established in 1917 to create a structured network of roads that would enhance connectivity and support economic development across the state. The initial system included 26 state highways, many of which followed pre-existing trails and trade routes. Over the years, the system has expanded significantly, reflecting the growth and changing needs of Texas.
, the total length of the 246 currently in-service highways with unique assigned numbers is 14092.7miles.[1] __TOC__
