List of former Texas state highways

Below is a list and summary of some of the deleted state highways as outlined by the Texas Department of Transportation designation files, indicated by having zero current mileage.

SH 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==
SH 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==
SH 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==
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==
SH 38
State Highway 38 has been designated three times. The first route was proposed 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 17, 1919, from Ladonia to Paris. On August 21, 1923, this route was cancelled. ==SH 52==

SH 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==

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==
