Route description
The western terminus of FM 1517 was at an intersection with SH 16 (Bandera Road) in San Antonio, at the northern city limits of Leon Valley. The route traveled along Eckhert Road in a northeasterly direction, passing John Marshall High School before turning due east and ending at an intersection with Huebner Road. While the Eckhert Road name extended beyond both given termini, only the indicated portion was designated FM 1517.
History
The routing of FM 1517 was designated in 1949. It was redesignated as Urban Road 1517 in 1995; however, as with other urban roads, TxDOT continues to sign the route with the farm-to-market route marker.
The designation, along with those of several other routes in Bexar County, was cancelled on December 18, 2014 and control was returned to the city of San Antonio. However, the road is still signed.
