History
Part of FM 812 was once known as the Austin-Port Lavaca Stagecoach Road.
The FM 812 designation was first used in 1948 for the road segment between SH 29 (along the current US 183 alignment) and Elroy. FM 812 was gradually extended southeast, to SH 21 in 1953, to 7 miles southeast in 1962,and to its current terminus near Red Rock in 1964.
Route description

For a 0.5-mile (0.80 km) segment east of Pilot Knob, FM 812 is concurrent with FM 973.
