Route description

State maintenance and the RM 2588 designation begins in southeastern Henderson County, just north of the Anderson county line. The roadway travels north to near Larue to an intersection with US 175.

The rural route has no street names, as it enters no incorporated communities, and is two-lane and shoulderless for its entire length.

The Ranch to Market designation for this road is an exception to TxDOT's designation preferences, as roads east of US 281 are generally signed as Farm to Market routes. RM 2588 lies approximately 130 miles (210 km) east of US 281.

History

A route designated FM 2588 assigned to a road in Lipscomb County beginning in 1959, running from an intersection with SH 305 south of Lipscomb westward 3.5 miles (5.6 km). This route became part of FM 1920 in 1961.

The current RM 2588 was designated in 1961, though it is unclear as to when the roadway was constructed.

Major intersections

The entire route is in Henderson County.
