Source-derived summary

State Highway 354 (SH 354) is a state highway in the Texas Panhandle. This route is a replacement of a portion of SH 5, which was cancelled on September 14, 1944 as it was never built. This section was bypassed, and was renumbered to keep state highway status.

Route description

SH 354 begins at an intersection with US 385 in the town of Channing. The highway is known as 7th Street in Channing and the road extends to the west of the US 385 intersection as FM 767. SH 354 heads to the east from this intersection through Hartley County. It passes over into Moore County before an intersection with FM 2202. The highway continues east to its eastern terminus at an intersection with a concurrent US 87 and US 287. The road continues east past this intersection as FM 1913.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 2, 2026.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
