Minute Order 115371, dated 11/15/2018 (Rescinds Minute Order 105686)

Minute Order 105686: Cancelled. From FM 2813, near Gresham, southward via Flint and Bullard to US 69; and from another point on US 69, southeastward to FM 177, a total distance of approx. 14.218 miles.  (Smith and Cherokee Counties)  New description; mileage from US 69 southwestward to FM 2813 transferred to UR 2493. ["Transferred" mileage, as noted on the Highway Designation File page for UR 2493, is approximately 7.382 miles.]

Minute Order 115371 general description: Minute Order 115371 rescinds Minute Order 105686. The result of this rescission is the elimination of the Urban Road (UR) system. The Farm to Market (FM) and Ranch to Market (RM) roadways which were intended to be redesignated as Urban Roads under the provisions of Minute Order 105686 revert back to their FM/RM designations. Minute Order 115371 declares that the provisions of Minute Order 105686 were never implemented, and although the UR designations were in effect during the interim between these two Minute Orders, the affected roadways continued to be referred to by their FM or RM designations. Only the Highway Designation Files made reference to the UR designations during this interim period. Upon the passing of Minute Order 115371, the affected Highway Designation Files have been updated retroactively to reflect the FM/RM designations.

Minute Order 115371 as it affects FM 2493: Any mileage that was previously described as "transferred to UR 2493" reverts back to FM 2493. This is retroactive to the date of passage of Minute Order 105686. The Highway Designation File page for UR 2493 has been removed.
