State Highway 276 (SH 276) is a Texas state highway that runs from Rockwall east to Emory. This route was designated on July 25, 1960 between Rockwall and Quinlan, replacing FM 1143 and part of FM 35. SH 276 was extended to its current terminus on October 25, 1990, replacing most of FM 35.

History[]

SH 276 was designated on September 7, 1938 as a route between US 285 southeast of Arno and Mentone.^[2] On April 16, 1946, another section from SH 115 to what was then SH 82 (now SH 18) in Kermit was added. On August 12, 1946, that section was transferred to SH 302. On December 1, 1953, SH 276 was transferred to SH 302.

In early 2021 construction began near Quinlan to eliminate the 276/34 concurrency, by rerouting 276 along the south side of Quinlan from its intersection with 34 and reconnecting with the existing 276 west of the city.^[3]
