Loop 118 is located in Roanoke. It is unsigned and a portion of US 377.
Loop 118 was designated on February 4, 1941, from US 377 south of Roanoke to SH 114 north of Roanoke. On September 26, 1996, a 0.625-mile (1.006 km) section from US 377 to Denton Street was returned to the city of Roanoke and Loop 118 was rerouted over Spur 118 to US 377.
Loop 120 was designated on May 14, 1941, from SH 70 south of Dickens, to a point US 62/US 82 west of Dickens. On September 27, 1957, Loop 120 was extended north 1.4 miles (2.3 km) along the old route of SH 70.

Loop 137
Loop 137 was a designation applied to two different highways. No highway currently uses the Loop 137 designation.
The first Loop 137 was designated on June 23, 1942, as a loop off US 90 (now I-10) on Houston's northern side with connections to SH 73. On October 13, 1955, the road was extended west from US 75 (now I-45) to US 90. On August 8, 1960, the road was extended south 4.5 miles (7.2 km) from I-10 to SH 225, completing the loop around Houston. From 1959 the route was co-designated with I-610 and this co-designation was removed on April 14, 1980, cancelling Loop 137.
The second Loop 137 was designated on December 21, 1983, as a loop off SH 78 in Blue Ridge, replacing the old route of SH 78. On June 21, 1990, Loop 137 was cancelled and redesignated and redesignated as Bus. SH 78.
Loop 140 was designated on September 22, 1942, as a loop off SH 117 in Borger. On April 2, 1969, the section from Spur 119 south to SH 207 was cancelled and the route was changed to Spur 140.
Loop 141 was designated on September 22, 1942, as a loop off SH 35 in Palacios. On June 21, 1990, Loop 141 was cancelled and transferred to Bus. SH 35.
Loop 143 was designated on November 24, 1959, from US 83 in Perryton westward and northward to SH 15. On October 28, 1966, the road was extended east and north from US 83 to SH 15. On October 1, 19658, the road was extended north from SH 15 (west intersection) to FM 1267. On May 1, 1972, the road was extended north and west from SH 15 to US 83.
Loop 144 was designated on September 6, 1943, as a loop off US 87 in Melvin. On April 30, 1959, Loop 144 was cancelled and removed from the highway system due to completion of FM 2028.
Loop 145 was designated on February 5, 1960, from US 287 in Oklaunion southward along Kingola Rd and eastward along the old route of US 287 and US 70 to US 287 east of Oklaunion.
Loop 146 was designated on January 18, 1944, from US 287 in Childress, south and west to US 83. On March 18, 1947, Loop 146 was cancelled and became a portion of FM 94, the same day that the route was signed as FM 94.
The original Loop 149 was designated on March 30, 1944, from US 75, 8 miles (13 km) north of Houston, south over former US 75 (US 75 was rerouted to follow North Shepherd Drive) to then-Bus. US 59, then over Bus. US 59 to US 75 in Houston. On March 24, 1954, Loop 149 was cancelled: the northern half was turned over to the city of Houston and Harris County (this section is now Airline Drive) and the southern half became part of US 75 (now I-45) when it was rerouted back to its 1944 configuration. The former route of US 75 became Spur 261 rather than Spur 149 because it was too close to FM 149.
Loop 155 was designated on September 14, 1944, from US 83 north of Crystal City following FM 65 to Uvalde St and westward along Uvalde St to US 83 in Crystal City. On July 18, 1958, the road was rerouted from Uvalde St to Lake St.
Loop 157 was designated on May 29, 1985, from US 59 northeast of Tenaha southwest and south 0.8 miles (1.3 km) to US 84/US 96 as a replacement of a section of Loop 168. On February 19, 1986, the road was extended to US 96, replacing a section of US 96.

Loop 163 is located in Blanco. Its southern terminus is at a junction with US 281, just inside the Blanco city limits. The route runs to the north, essentially parallel to the current alignment of US 281. It intersects RM 165 before crossing the Blanco River. Access to the north bank of the river and Blanco State Park is provided by PR 23. Loop 163 turns to the west and reaches its northern terminus at an intersection with US 281 in downtown Blanco. The road continues to the northwest as RM 1623.[43][44]
Loop 163 was designated on June 1, 1960. It is a former alignment of US 281 through Blanco.[43]
Loop 165 was designated on November 7, 1958, as a renumbering of Loop 281 due to its confusion with US 281. The road was also extended south over old US 281 to US 277/US 281. On April 24, 1964, Loop 165 was cancelled and transferred to SH 240 when it was extended.
Loop 166 was designated on April 30, 1945, from US 90 east of Brackettville along the old location of US 90 through Brackettville to US 90 west of Brackettville.
Loop 170 was designated on January 18, 1946, from US 80 (later Loop 432, now Business I 20-M) southeast of Sweetwater Municipal Airport (then called Avenger Field) through Sweetwater Municipal Airport and then to another point on US 80 (later Loop 432, now Business I 20-M).
Loop 171 was designated on October 31, 1958, from US 60 approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of Pampa south to SH 273. On November 10, 1961, the road was extended south and west to SH 70. On November 16, 1968, the road was extended northwest from US 60 to SH 70.
The first use of the Loop 175 designation was in Coleman County, from US 84, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) southeast of Coleman west to Commercial Avenue near the south side of Coleman, then south 1 mile (1.6 km) to US 67 near Coleman Airport with a spur connection along Commercial Avenue into Coleman. On September 26, 1947, the route was revised after US 67 was rerouted. Loop 175 was cancelled on October 24, 1955, and transferred to FM 568.
The next use of the Loop 175 designation was in Victoria County as a loop off US 59 around the south side of Victoria. On January 26, 1995, Loop 175 was cancelled and transferred to US 59 when it was rerouted; the original route of US 59 became Bus. US 59.
Loop 177 was designated on March 21, 1946, from US 59 south of Moscow, northwestward along a county road to the old location of US 59 and then along the old location of US 59 approximate 0.4 miles (0.64 km), and then eastward to US 59. On November 5, 1952, one section was transferred to FM 1643, which was cancelled and combined with FM 350 on February 21, 1958 (note that FM 1643 has since been reassigned elsewhere).
Loop 178 is located in Commerce. Its western terminus is at SH 224 in the western part of the city. It runs southeast and then east to an intersection with SH 24 and SH 11. From here, Loop 178 and SH 11 run concurrent eastbound, intersecting FM 3218. Loop 178 ends at Bus. SH 11, while SH 11 continues to the southeast.[56] The Loop 178 designation extends to the northeast from this point, to another junction with SH 24, but this section has not been constructed as of 2022[update].[55]
The current Loop 178 was designated on August 28, 1958, as Spur 178, going from SH 11 westward and northward to SH 24. On May 1, 1965, the section from the current junction of SH 11 and SH 24 (then the junction with FM 513) that was concurrent with FM 513 was transferred to the new SH 50.
