Farm to Market Road 2 or FM 2 is a Texas state road in rural Grimes County that runs from the village of Courtney east to FM 362. The road was designated in 1941 from Courtney east to SH 6 and was extended to FM 362 in 1962.

The road runs next to the OL Luther Prison Unit on the east side of SH 6 and prison farms on the west side.

Farm to Market Road 3 or FM 3 is a Texas state road running from U.S. Highway 79 southeast to Normangee. The route was originally designated in 1942 from Normangee west to Normangee State Park. This replaced SH 265. The route was gradually lengthened to the northwest until it reached US 79 in 1970.

Farm to Market Road 22, or FM 22, in the eastern part of Texas (USA), runs about 9.07 miles (14.60 km) from an intersection with US 69 in Craft east through Turney and Gallatin, then onward to an intersection with TX 110 south of the community of Ponta. The road is located in north-central Cherokee County.

FM 22 has no local street names. Mostly rural for all of its length, FM 22 passes by a landscape of rolling hills of trees and farmland. All of FM 22 has 2 lanes and no shoulders.

The original commissioning for FM 22 by Minute Order came in 1942. Another Minute Order was added in 1970, this added 1.2 miles (1.9 km) more to the road. This extra mileage was along a route west of Craft, to an intersection with FM 347 south of Jacksonville. By 1972 though, the extra mileage added in 1970 was cancelled, and FM 22 returned to its previous length. It is unclear exactly when any part of FM 22 was built. The road serves just the 3 towns of Craft, Turney, and Gallatin. The western terminus intersection connects to US 69 which goes north to Jacksonville and Tyler, and south to Rusk and Lufkin; while the eastern terminus intersection connects to TX 110 which goes north to Ponta and New Summerfield, and south to Rusk. FM 22 only has intersections at county roads, besides its multiplex with FM 768 in Gallatin, and its termini at US 69 in Craft and at TX 110 south of Ponta.

The road is located in east-northeast Cherokee County. Before 1951, a previous version of FM 235 was commissioned by Minute Order in 1945, and located in Jackson County north of Edna which included an intersection with TX 111. This use of FM 235 was cancelled in 1948 and redesignated FM 822.

FM 235 has no local street names. Mostly rural for all of its length, FM 235 passes by a landscape of rolling hills of trees and farmland. All of FM 235 has 2 lanes and no shoulders.

The original commissioning for FM 235 by Minute Order came in May 1951. The road in that Order spanned 4.7 miles (7.6 km) from TX 110 eastward. Another Minute Order was added in November 1951, this added 6.3 miles (10.1 km) more to the road. The road serves just the town of New Summerfield and comes close to Reklaw. The western terminus intersection connects to TX 110 which goes south to Rusk, Texas and north to Troup and Tyler; while the eastern terminus intersection connects to TX 204 which goes southeast to near Nacogdoches and northwest to Jacksonville. Besides intersections at various county roads, FM 235 has a brief multiplex with FM 2274, an intersection with FM 2420, and its termini at TX 110 and at TX 204.

Farm to Market Road 747, or FM 747, in eastern Texas (USA), runs about 21.03 miles (33.84 km) from an intersection with US 84 west of Maydelle, north to a multiplex west of Jacksonville, then west (but still signed north) to a county road east of the border of Cherokee and Anderson counties.

FM 747 has no local street names. Mostly rural, the landscape along the road is mainly hilly with trees and farms. The west shore of Lake Jacksonville can be seen for a portion of FM 747, looking east, for a short span south of US 79. The road has 2 lanes and no shoulders for its entire length. All of FM 747 is in west-central Cherokee County.

The road was commissioned in September 1947 originally, and has gone through 4 changes since, even though it is unclear as to when any part of FM 747 was constructed to completion. The Minute Order in September 1947 was for FM 747 to be 8.2 miles (13.2 km) from southwest of Jacksonville to US 79 in Jacksonville. October 1947 was the next dated Minute Order, adding 0.9 miles (1.4 km) further southwest. In 1949, another Minute Order added 7.2 miles (11.6 km), bringing FM 747 further south to an intersection with US 84 west of Maydelle. The change of FM 747's northern terminus was the subject of the August 1957 Minute Order, this took FM 747 outside Jacksonville (to make way for the construction of Lake Jacksonville) to a new terminus point on US 79. Finally, the road took its current shape with a Minute Order in October 1957, which added a 6.5 miles (10.5 km) western extension north of US 79^[11]. The road serves the communities of Pierce's Chapel and New Hope. The road connects the rural area to US 79 which goes east (but is signed north) to Jacksonville and west (but is signed south) to Palestine.

The road is located in central Cherokee County. Originally, FM 752 was shorter due to the commission in the Minute Order in 1947; its southern terminus was 7.8 miles (12.6 km) south of Rusk, then north to downtown Rusk. A 1972 Minute Order added 6.5 miles (10.5 km) more from another road, FM 2139, which brought the southern terminus down to Alto.

FM 752 has 3 local street names: Quincy Avenue and Palestine Street in Alto, and Main Street in Rusk. Urban at each terminus and largely rural for the rest of its length, FM 752 passes by a landscape of rolling hills of trees and farmland. All of FM 752 has 2 lanes and no shoulders.

Even though FM 752 was originally commissioned in 1947, it is unclear exactly when any part of FM 752 was built. The road serves just the towns of Alto and Rusk. The southern terminus intersection connects to TX 294, which goes west to Elkhart and is a short distance from TX 21, which goes east to Nacogdoches and southwest to Crockett.

While somewhat winding between Rusk and Gallatin, FM 768 is much more so with several twisty corners between Gallatin and Jacksonville. All of FM 768 has 2 lanes and no shoulders.

The original section of FM 768, from the US 69 intersection southeastward for 8.3 miles (13.4 km) was commissioned by Minute Order in 1948, then another Minute Order added in 1953, 2.4 miles (3.9 km) more, intersecting the road with FM 22 in Gallatin. In 1958, FM 854 was cancelled and the mileage added to FM 768's to extend the road to Rusk. It is unclear, exactly when any part of FM 768 was built. The road serves just the 3 towns of Rusk, Gallatin, and Jacksonville.

FM 2493 has 2 local street names: Houston Street in Bullard and Old Jacksonville Highway in Tyler. Rural at its southern end, the road gets progressively urban as it gets closer to Tyler. FM 2493 passes by a landscape of rolling hills of trees and pastures/farmland on the portions that have not been developed. All of FM 2493 has had 2 lanes and no shoulders, but parts of the road in and near Tyler are changing to a widened 4-lane as traffic increases.

The original section of FM 2493, from the US 69 intersection south of Bullard, north for 16.1 miles (25.9 km) was commissioned by Minute Order in 1957, then another Minute Order added in 1962, 5.3 miles (8.5 km) more, intersecting the road with FM 177 west of Mixon.

Farm to Market Road 3540, or FM 3540, in eastern Texas (USA), is a road designation that will run about 2.1 miles (3.4 km) from an intersection with TX 135 in Tecula, east to the vicinity of a future lake, Lake Columbia^[32].

There are no local street names along the path of the future road. Rural for all its length, the landscape along the road includes rolling hills of alternating open pastures and trees. The entire road has 2 lanes and no shoulders. All of FM 3540 will be in north-northeast Cherokee County.

The Minute Order for this future road was commissioned in 2005, the path of which will follow the southern end of the current FM 2064. It is unclear as to when FM 2064 was completed. The road will serve no towns other than a small community, Tecula, at its western terminus. The road will connect the rural area to TX 135, which leads southwest to Jacksonville) and northeast to Troup; there will be only intersections with local county roads from FM 3540 otherwise.

Plans have been in the works for many years for Lake Columbia to be built along Mud Creek, which FM 2064 crosses. In advance of construction, a new Minute Order was commissioned in 2005, to reduce the mileage of FM 2064 to 5.6 miles (9.0 km). This change will affect the road by splitting it in two, and its intersection at the current southern terminus at TX 135 in Tecula, will not connect to the shortened FM 2064 afterward. Therefore, the future installation of the separate FM 3540. As of yet, construction on the lake has not commenced, so signage and length of FM 2064 has not yet changed to reflect the 2005 Order for FM 3540^[31][33].

The route will be in north-northeast Cherokee County, between Jacksonville and Troup.
