Farm to Market Road 619 (FM 619) is located in Lee and Williamson counties.[27]
FM 696 begins in Lee County at FM 696, just north of the Bastrop County line.[28] It travels northward and soon enters Williamson County. The route is primarily rural and does not go through any major cities or communities, other than passing just east of Taylor, where it has a brief concurrency with FM 112 and crosses US 79.[29] The route's northern terminus is at FM 1331, south of Granger Lake.[27]
The highway has one spur route, FM Spur 619, which runs from just north of the Williamson–Lee county line eastward and southward to the county line. It is a former alignment of the main route through the community of Beaukiss.[27]
FM 619 was originally designated in Williamson County in 1945, beginning at FM 112 and ending in the community of Structure. The southern extension to the Lee County line, along what is the present-day spur route, occurred in 1952. In 1954, a southward extension into Lee County was designated, and the two routes were joined via a new alignment, creating the spur route. The northward extension to FM 1331 took effect in 1963.[27]

Farm to Market Road 640 (FM 640) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Texas that remains within Wharton County. The three-mile long highway starts at FM 102 east of Glen Flora, heads to the north and ends at FM 1161 in Spanish Camp.
A two-lane highway along its entire route, FM 640 begins at a stop sign on FM 102 1.1 miles (1.8 km) to the east of Glen Flora.[51] According to the United States Geological Survey 1953 Glen Flora 7.5' quadrangle map, the intersection is midway between Glen Flora and the one-time community of Sorrelle.[52] FM 640 heads straight to the north-northeast for 0.8 miles (1.3 km) then curves sharply to the northwest.[51] Just after the curve, the highway crosses Baughman Slough, a small watercourse.[52] After going northwest for a short distance, FM 640 bends to the right twice until it is going to the north-northeast. After about 1.0 mile (1.6 km) from the first curve, the highway curves to the north-northwest. For the next 0.9 miles (1.4 km), FM 640 goes in a straight line to the north-northwest. After curving to the left and right, FM 640 goes 0.3 miles (0.5 km) before coming to a stop sign at FM 1161 in Spanish Camp.[51] In its final stretch the highway crosses Peach Creek and there were a number of natural gas wells in the area in 1952.[53]
FM 1161 curves sharply to the northeast at its junction with FM 640 in Spanish Camp
FM 640 was originally designated on July 2, 1945 to start in Navarro County at a cemetery to the northeast of Streetman. From the cemetery, the highway went southwest about 4.7 miles (7.6 km) to the Freestone County line. On July 3, 1946, the highway was canceled and the right-of-way was transferred to FM 246. On September 10, 1968 this section of FM 246 was renumbered as FM 416(640 was already taken). On May 23, 1951, FM 640 was redesignated to start at FM 102 near Glen Flora in Wharton County and continue in a northerly direction to FM 1161 in Spanish Camp. The distance was estimated at 3.1 miles (5.0 km).[50]

Farm to Market Road 646 is a designated that has been used three times. The current use is in Galveston County, from FM 2004 at Hitchcock to FM 517 at San Leon. There is a concurrency with SH 6 in Santa Fe.
The highway begins at FM 2004 in Hitchcock, Texas. It runs north to Texas State Highway 6 in Santa Fe, Texas. It briefly merges with Highway 6, heading northwest, and then branches off and keeps heading north. The highway has intersections with Farm to Market Road 1764 and Farm to Market Road 517 before turning northeast and intersecting Interstate 45 soon after. The highway continues northeast and passes into Dickinson, Texas where it intersects Texas State Highway 3 and turns east before intersecting Farm to Market Road 1266. The highway intersects Farm to Market Road 3436 before turning northeast again. The highway intersects Texas State Highway 146 and passes through Bacliff, Texas. Once it reaches Bayshore Drive, it turns abruptly southeast and continues into San Leon. The highway ends at its second intersection with FM 517.
FM 646 was designated on January 16, 1953 from FM 517 south to SH 6 near Alta Loma. It was formerly FM 517,[60] and before that, FM 520.[61] On February 15, 1959 the road was extended 6.9 miles to the Brazoria County line. On February 15, 1961 the section of FM 646 from SH 6 to the Brazoria County line was transferred to FM 1561. On October 15, 1964 the road was extended to FM 2004, replacing a section of FM 1561 and creating a concurrency with SH 6. On November 5, 1976 the road was extended north 1.6 miles to I-45. On April 15, 1980 the road was extended to FM 517 southwest of Bacliff, replacing FM 3002. On August 12, 1982 by district request, the road was extended to FM 517 in San Leon, replacing a section of FM 3436. On June 30, 1995 the section from SH 6 to UR 517 at San Leon was transferred to UR 646.
FM 646 is the possible route of Texas State Highway 99, known as the Grand Parkway between Highway 146 and Interstate 45. It will become the third loop around the city of Houston. However, many businesses would have to be destroyed for the highway to be built along the FM, so a change to the plans is likely.

FM 649
Farm to Market Road 649 (FM 649) is a farm to market road in South Texas.[62]
FM 649 begins in the Rio Grande Valley at a junction with US 83 in Garceno.[63] The route travels northward through sparsely populated sections of Starr County before entering Jim Hogg County.[64] In the vicinity of the unincorporated community of Randado, FM 649 has a brief concurrency with SH 16 before resuming its northward journey.[65] The highway enters Webb County and passes through Mirando City before reaching its northern terminus at SH 359 west of Oilton.[62][66]
FM 649 was originally designated in Starr County in 1945. Its southern terminus has always been at US 83 in Garceno; its original north end was at the Starr–Jim Hogg county line. In 1948, it was extended northward into Jim Hogg County, to FM 496 at Randado; this section of FM 496 would become SH 16 in 1965.[67] In 1954, the northern segment into Webb County was added, to what was then US 59 near Oilton; that section of US 59 became SH 359 in 1959. This extension replaced FM 1904, which went from FM 496 to US 59.[62][68]

RM 652 is a 58.6-mile long ranch to market road in West Texas near the Texas/New Mexico state line.
The western terminus of RM 652 is in Culberson County at US 62 / US 180, near the Texas/New Mexico state line. The route travels east into Reeves County, intersecting US 285 at Orla. RM 652 then crosses the Pecos River into Loving County, before ending at Eddy County Rd. 1 at the Texas/New Mexico state line.[69][70][71]
In 1945, FM 652 was originally assigned to a road to the north of Odessa in Ector County from SH 51(now US 385) to SH 302. Later that year, this assignment was canceled because it was already a part of SH 158.
In 1951, FM 652 was assigned to a 6.5-mile road from US 285 at Orla, northeastward to the Loving County line at the Pecos River. In 1956, it was extended northeastward 10.0 miles to its current eastern terminus at the Texas/New Mexico state line. In 1958, it was redesignated RM 652 and extended 53.0 miles westward from Orla to US 62 south of Pine Springs. In 1960, the western terminus was adjusted, so that RM 652 now met US 62 north approximately 10.0 miles northeast of Pine Springs. This shortened RM 652 by 5.5 miles. In 1975, the western terminus was moved to the northeast again, giving RM 652 its current western terminus. The 1960-defined section of RM 652 between US 62 and RM 1108 was cancelled, and the section of RM 1108 from US 62 near the Texas/New Mexico border southeastward 5.2 miles was transferred to RM 652.[69]

Farm to Market Road 655 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Texas. Ninety-nine percent of FM 655 is a private road for the Texas Department of Corrections, as the Ramsey, Terrell, and Stringfellow units are on this highway. The road itself is five miles (8 km) long, and at the end of the road, there is an FM 655 "spur" to either the left or right, for prison access. Both spurs combined are around two miles (3 km) long.
FM 655 begins as two spurs at the Ramsey, Stringfellow, and Terrell units of the Texas Department of Corrections in Brazoria County. The mainline of FM 655 follows the northern spur while the FM 655 spur follows the southern spur, with both beginning at prison buildings and heading through farm fields before joining. From here, FM 655 continues east through farmland within the prison. After leaving the prison, the highway heads into Bonney and ends at FM 521.[72][73][74]
FM 655 was designated in 1945 to run from SH 288 (now FM 521) west to the Ramsey Prison Farm. In 1980, FM 655 was defined onto its current alignment, with the southern spur added.[72]

Farm to Market Road 664 (FM 664) is a rural and suburban farm to market road in Ellis County, Texas.[75]
FM 664, known locally as Ovilla Road, is a major access road for the northern sections of Ellis County. It begins at Bus. US 287, the former route of US 287 in Waxahachie. It briefly travels north along the de facto frontage road for southbound I-35E at Exit #401B. After passing the interstate, the route continues north approximately nine miles into Ovilla, where it makes an abrupt right-hand turn and continues to the east for the remainder of its length.[nb 1] It crosses I-35E again (passing over the Boxcar Willie Memorial Overpass) and also SH 342 in Red Oak before terminating at FM 983 near Ferris.[75][76]
FM 664 was designated in 1945, and ran from near Waxahachie to Ovilla, with a southern terminus at US 287 (later Loop 528, now signed as US 287 Business).[77] It was lengthened to US 77 (now the I-35E freeway) in 1961. An extension east 4 miles in 1965 and another to Ferris in 1970 brought the route to its current length.[75]

FM 665 begins in downtown Alice, at an intersection with SH 44 / SH 359.[79] The route travels to the south along Cameron Street before turning to the east, and passes Alice International Airport before entering Nueces County.[80] FM 665 intersects US 77 (Future I-69E) in Driscoll and passes through the town of Petronila before turning more toward the northeast to enter Corpus Christi.[81] The route intersects SH 357 in the outskirts of Corpus Christi before crossing the SH 358 expressway and entering downtown.[82] FM 665 ends at an intersection with Spur 544 (signed as business route of SH 44).[78]
FM 665 was designated in 1945, from US 77 in Driscoll to SH 44 in Corpus Christi. It was extended to Alice in 1955, replacing a portion of FM 666 from Driscoll to current FM 666 and the entirety of FM 736 from FM 70 to SH 359.[83][84] The portion east of SH 357 in Corpus Christi was officially redesignated as Urban Road 665 in 1995; as with other urban roads, TxDOT continues to sign the route with the Farm Road marker.[85]
FM 666
Farm to Market Road 666 (FM 666) is a farm-to-market road in the U.S. state of Texas that serves Nueces County and San Patricio County.[86]
FM 666 begins at FM 70 in Bishop and continues north, intersecting SH 44 in Banquete and FM 624 in Bluntzer.[87][88] The road crosses into San Patricio County at the city of San Patricio, and, during the end of its route, is parallel to Interstate 37 to its east. FM 666 ends in the city of Mathis at SH 359; the roadway continues as a business route of SH 359 through Mathis.[89] FM 666 was designated in 1945; its original routing was from SH 44 in Banquete southward and eastward to US 77 in Driscoll. In 1949, the designation was extended north to US 59 (present-day SH 359) in Mathis. In 1955, the section of FM 666 from US 77 to its current junction with FM 665 was transferred to FM 665.

Farm to Market Road 669 (FM 669) is a Farm to Market Road in West Texas. It extends in a northerly direction for Lua error in Module:Convert at line 272: attempt to index local 'cat' (a nil value). from Big Spring in Howard County to Post in Garza County.
Beginning at a complex junction with Farm to Market Road 700 and Texas State Highway 350 on the north side of Big Spring, Farm to Market Road 669 initially runs for Lua error in Module:Convert at line 272: attempt to index local 'cat' (a nil value). in a northerly direction across the level plains of the Llano Estacado, passing numerous cotton fields and rural farm homes. Near the intersection of FM 1785, FM 669 drops off the Caprock and enters the rolling ranch and oil country of Borden County. The undulating, broken land of Borden County was carved by numerous ephemeral tributaries of the upper Colorado River that typically originate as springs along the Caprock Escarpment to the west and generally flow across the county in an easterly direction.[91]
After crossing the Colorado River, about Lua error in Module:Convert at line 272: attempt to index local 'cat' (a nil value). north of the Howard-Borden county line, FM 669 continues north toward Gail, the county seat of Borden County.[92] Near Gail, one passes two prominent erosional remnants of the Llano Estacado. To the south of Gail, one can see a conspicuous landmark known as Mushaway Peak (also known as Muchakooaga, Muchaque Peak or Cordova Peak); this small butte stands on high ground between Grape Creek and Bull Creek, two tributaries of the upper Colorado River.[93] A much larger mesa, called Gail Mountain, stands on the western edge of Gail and provides a scenic backdrop for this small town.[94]
In Gail, FM 669 crosses U.S. Highway 180, which runs west-east from Lamesa to Snyder and beyond. Continuing north, FM 669 draws closer to the edge of the Llano Estacado, which can be seen Lua error in Module:Convert at line 272: attempt to index local 'cat' (a nil value). to the west. Approximately Lua error in Module:Convert at line 272: attempt to index local 'cat' (a nil value). north of Gail is a junction with FM 2350, which leads to Fluvanna and the Brazos Wind Ranch, to the east.
Farther north, near the Borden-Garza county line, FM 669 reaches a high point that divides the drainage of the upper Brazos and Colorado rivers. Along this drainage divide, the land is highly denuded with many small buttes and hoodoos. Less than a mile north of the county line is a historical marker that describes an archaeological site where the "Garza Point" was first identified. These distinctive arrowheads were constructed from local flint, chert, and obsidian by Native Americans living and hunting in this area around A.D. 1440 to 1500.[95]
Around Lua error in Module:Convert at line 272: attempt to index local 'cat' (a nil value). north of the Borden-Garza county line, FM 669 crosses the Double Mountain Fork, a major tributary of the upper Brazos River.[96] From the colorful sandy bed of the Double Mountain Fork, FM 669 climbs Lua error in Module:Convert at line 272: attempt to index local 'cat' (a nil value). over a distance of Lua error in Module:Convert at line 272: attempt to index local 'cat' (a nil value). as it ascends the Caprock to the high plains of the Llano Estacado. FM 669 remains on the level plains for a short distance of only Lua error in Module:Convert at line 272: attempt to index local 'cat' (a nil value). before suddenly dropping off the Caprock and descending Lua error in Module:Convert at line 272: attempt to index local 'cat' (a nil value). back to the rolling plains and to the town of Post, the county seat of Garza County. Within the city limits of Post, FM 669 terminates at a junction with U.S. Route 380.[97]
FM 669 was designated in 1945 from US 180 at Gail south 10 miles. In 1949, FM 669 extended south 2.5 miles to a county road. In 1951, FM 669 extended to FM 1584 at Vealmoor. In 1952, FM 669 extended to US 87, replacing FM 1857 on this route. In 1953, the section of FM 669 from FM 1785 to US 87 was transferred to FM 1785. FM 669 instead extended south to SH 350 near Big Spring, replacing FM 817 from SH 350 to the Borden County Line. In 1956, FM 669 extended north to FM 1313. In 1965, the section of FM 1313 from FM 669 to US 380 was transferred to FM 669.

Farm to Market Road 677 (FM 677) is a farm to market road in Montague County, Texas.[98]
FM 677 is one of the longest farm to market roads in Montague County, and is a two-lane route for its entire length. It begins in Forestburg at a junction with FM 477.[99] It travels northward through the rural eastern part of the county, reaching St. Jo and an intersection with US 82. It continues northward, through the unincorporated communities of Capps Corner and Illinois Bend, close to the Cooke County line.[100] It briefly turns to the west before resuming its northward journey toward the Red River. The FM 677 designation ends as the route crosses into Love County, Oklahoma across the Taovoyas Indian Bridge; the roadway continues as Oklahoma State Highway 89.[98]
A spur of FM 677 exists in Illinois Bend, traveling northward from mainline FM 677 approximately 0.268 mi (0.431 km). It is signed as Spur 677 using the traditional state highway spur marker.[98]
FM 677 was first designated in 1946; the originally routing was northward from US 82 in St. Jo approximately 5.3 mi (8.5 km). It was extended north 2.5 miles and south 2.9 miles in 1951, and again southward in 1952, to Hardy near the FM 1630 intersection.[101] The route's designation was extended further northward to 3 miles north of Capps Corner in 1953 and to Illinois Bend in 1954; the latter year also so the lengthening to Forestburg. The connection to the Red River was made in 1958, and the concurrency with US 82 in St. Jo was removed in 1961. The connection to Oklahoma was made in 1989.[98]
While the designation file indicates that the route enters Cooke County, this contradicts the information in TxDOT's planning file.[98][100]
