History
FM 2903 was originally designated in 1964 from a point 10.5 miles (16.9 km) south of Toyah to U.S. Highway 80 (US 80) which preceded the construction of I-10. The following year, FM 2954 was designated as a 4.2-mile-long (6.8 km) route along the southernmost portion of the present day FM 2903 and Bus. I-10-F ending at State Highway 17 (SH 17) and the former US 290, the local predecessor of I-10. In 1968, FM 2903 was extended 10.0 miles (16.1 km) to the south meeting FM 2954 which was then designated as part of FM 2903. FM 2954 has since been assigned to a road in Robertson County. The 1.9-mile (3.1 km) segment of FM 2903 between I-10 and SH 17 was designated as part of Bus. I-10-F in 1992.
