Source-derived summary

State highway spurs in Texas are owned and maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).

Spur 1

Spur 1 is a designation that has been used for two different routes, one in Uvalde County and the other in El Paso County.

Spur 1 (1939)

The first use of the Spur 1 designation was in Uvalde County, from US 90 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of Uvalde south to the Uvalde National Fish Hatchery. On February 12, 1943, an 0.4 mile extension across the hatchery property to a connection with the Uvalde-Eagle Pass County Road was proposed. Spur 1 and the extension were cancelled on December 16, 1943, when the extension was blocked off. The roadway is now maintained by the county.

Spur 1 (1958)

The second use of the Spur 1 designation was in El Paso County, from US 80 Alt. at or near Courchesne School to the approved route of I-10. Spur 1 was cancelled on July 31, 1964, and transferred to Loop 16 (now US 85).

Spur 3

Spur 3 is located in Corpus Christi.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q85780879. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1939, 1943, 1958 and 1964.

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.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
