County Roads in Unincorporated Howard County Are Maintained by the County

Howard County Cars & Driving

Howard County has a Road Administrator who oversees maintenance of public county roads. These are roads that the Commissioners Court has accepted for maintenance. If you live in an unincorporated area, meaning outside any city, your driveway access road may or may not be a county-maintained road.

Interstate 20 and U.S. Highway 87 are the major routes through Howard County. State highways 33, 176, and 350 are also present. For questions about a specific county road, contact the Howard County Road Administrator's office at (432) 264-2208.
