Note: When referring to Texas state highways, state agencies use the abbreviation SH (state highway), unless the highway is a spur or a loop. The official name of the highways is "state highway" not "texas state highway" or simply "Texas": So, for example, what locals consider Texas 121 is actually SH 121. If the highway is a spur or a loop, SH is typically dropped: SH Loop 12 is referred to simply as Loop 12. However, locals tend to use the term "highway" (except for Loop 12 or Spur 408) followed by the number, or most often simply use the number only or the local name (for example, Texas 183 would be referred to as "highway 183", "183", or "Airport Freeway").
