Hello and welcome to the Texas State Highways task force. If you would like to help, please jump in and start adding or editing.

Scope and goals
The scope of the Texas State Highways project will include all of the highways in Texas that are built and maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT), to include the highways part of the United States Numbered Highways or the Interstate Highway System. The scope of the project will also include all toll roads not operated by TXDOT as well other notable roads in Texas that do not fall under the above criteria. For US highways and Interstate highways, a Texas specific version should exist for those that transverse more than the state of Texas, i.e. Interstate 10 in Texas. For the intrastate highways such as I-27, a separate article for Texas is not necessary.

The goal is to document all of the State highways built and maintained by TxDOT, past and present.

Citation templates
TxDOT is used to cite the TxDOT Highway Designation files. See that template for full documentation, but it's used to produce something similar to:

TxDOT map is used to cite various maps published by the Texas State Highway Commission or the Texas Department of Transportation. Currently, it supports 1917, 1919, 1922, 1926, 1928, 1933, or 1936 maps.

TxDOT minutes is used to cite various minute orders, minutes and agendas published by the Texas State Highway Department, Texas Department of Highways and Public Transportation and Texas Department of Transportation between 1917 and the present.

Texas Mapbook is used to cite either the current (2014) or most recent old (2012) version of the Texas Department of Transportation County Mapbook.
