The "main" section of FM 1417 begins at an intersection with State Highway 11 southeast of Sherman. The highway enters the city's southside, intersecting US 75. At Old Dorchester Road, FM 1417 turns to the north, running along the western edge of Sherman. The highway sees slightly more development along its route, interchanging with State Highway 56.

History
The FM 1417 designation was previously assigned to a road in Tyler County in 1949. In 1953, the mileage was transferred to an extension of FM 256. The current FM 1417 was first designated in 1958, running from US 75 to FM 120.
The disconnected eastern leg of FM 1417 was previously an old routing of US 82.
