Route description[]
FM 2 begins in the village of , at Grimes County Road 237 about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of the Washington County line (Brazos River). It travels along the northeastern edge of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's O.L. Luther Unit. It then continues through rural farmland in Grimes County. It then travels east, crossing Texas State Highway 6 (SH 6) and passing several prison farms before ending at FM 362.[1][2]

FM 2 was designated in 1941 from Courtney east to SH 6. The designation was extended to FM 362 on May 2, 1962, which added approximately 4.4 miles (7.1 km) to the highway.[1]
As of 2017, TxDOT plans to convert the at-grade intersection with SH 6, regarded as dangerous,[3] into a diamond interchange.[4]
