Texas State Highway 128

State Highway 128 (SH 128) is a state highway in Andrews County, Texas.^[1]

SH 128 begins at the New Mexico state line east of Jal, New Mexico, as New Mexico Highway 128 crosses into Texas. The route immediately encounters its only intersection between its termini, at FM 1218, which runs just inside the state line.^[2] The route travels eastward through unincorporated Andrews County before ending at SH 115 about 20 miles (32 km) southwest of Andrews.^[3]

SH 128 was originally designated on May 21, 1927 along a route from Sinton northeast to the Victoria County line. On October 11, 1927, it was extended south to Robstown and numbered SH 128.^[4][5] On March 19, 1928, it was extended north to Victoria.^[6] On June 24, 1931, it had been extended west to Alice, replacing a portion of SH 12A.^[7] On September 19, 1933, it was extended north to Hallettsville.^[8] On July 15, 1935, the section from Victoria to Hallettsville was cancelled (as it was not built yet).^[9] On September 26, 1935, the section from Victoria to Hallettsville was restored as part of the lateral road program, and construction started on that section.^[10] On November 24, 1936, the entire route became part of SH 44. SH 128 was then designated on the current SH 237 from La Grange northeast to US 290 near Carmine, replacing a portion of SH 72.^[11] This was renumbered as SH 237 on December 22, 1936, presumably to avoid confusion with the just cancelled SH 128.^[12]

La ruta actual fue designada originalmente el 7 de mayo de 1948 como Farm to Market Road 781 y se extendía desde la línea estatal hasta FM 703. ^{[ 13 ]} La carretera fue señalizada, pero no designada oficialmente, simultáneamente como SH 128 a partir del 30 de marzo de 1955, "para la guía del público viajero" para corresponder con la Carretera Estatal de Nuevo México 128 (que fue renumerada de NM 256 a NM 128 ese día; FM 703 fue señalizada pero no designada como parte de SH 115 en octubre de 1952). ^{[ 1 ]} La designación FM 781 fue cancelada el 29 de agosto de 1990; el mismo día, FM 703 pasó a formar parte de SH 115. ^{[ 13 ] [ 14 ]}

Toda la ruta se encuentra en el condado de Andrews .
