Roads in Travis County: State Highways, FM Roads, and County Roads

TxDOT maintains state highways and Farm-to-Market (FM) roads in Travis County. Travis County itself maintains county roads in unincorporated areas. The City of Austin maintains city streets inside its limits. Knowing who maintains a road matters if you need to report damage or get a permit for work near the road.

FM roads are official Texas Farm-to-Market routes. They often connect rural and suburban areas to larger highways. In western Travis County, some roads cross low-water crossings that flood quickly during heavy rain. Never drive through a flooded crossing — check ATXFloods.com before driving unfamiliar routes in wet weather.
