State Highway 202 (SH 202) is a Texas state highway between
Beeville and
Refugio. The route was designated on January 9, 1934 from
George West to Beeville as a restoration of the easternmost portion of the old
SH 127 (which was reused on another road in 1932).[2] On November 19, 1935, it was extended west to
Fowlerton.[3] On December 21, 1936, it was extended east to Refugio.[4] By 1938, SH 202 was extended west to
Cotulla (restoring more of the old
SH 127) and east to Refugio. On September 26, 1939, the section of SH 202 west of George West was transferred to
SH 72. On October 30, 1939, before signage was changed, SH 202 was extended to
Laredo, replacing
SH 257 (note that SH 202 east of George West was to be transferred to SH 257 on September 26, 1939). On August 24, 1954, the section from Laredo to Beeville became the new routing of
U.S. Route 59, and was pared back to its present routing.
