Route description
FM 1215 begins along the north service road of I-10. The road does not have its own dedicated exit from I-10, but can be reached by eastbound traffic from exit 209 then following the SH 17 south underpass to the north service road while westbound traffic follows exit 212 for SH 17 north / FM 2448 to the north service road.
From the I-10 service road, the two-lane road proceeds on a convoluted path first to the north, then makes turns to the east and north into Saragosa where the route is known as West Main Street and makes one more eastward turn to SH 17 all along following the local county road system's partial grid of section line roads. Except at I-10 and SH 17, the route uses curves to change direction avoiding right-angle turns. In Saragosa, the road turns south for one-half mile (0.8 km) along SH 17. At Reeves County Road 306 (CR 306), FM 1215 turns east along that route and follows it for one mile (1.6 km) before terminating at an intersection with CR 309. CR 306 continues an additional mile to FM 2448.
