State Highway 349 or SH 349 is a 194.43-mile-long (312.90 km) state highway in the western part of Texas, United States.
The original formation of the highway on August 3, 1943 included only the section from Rankin to Midland, replacing FM 9. On April 30, 1947, FM 306 and FM 177 were redesignated to form the segment of SH 349 from Midland to near Lamesa. The section from Sheffield to Rankin was added on October 24, 1956 by redesignating part of SH 51.
The part of SH 349 south of Sheffield was Farm to Market Road 1217, which was designated on July 14, 1949 from Dryden northward 5 miles (8 km). FM 1217 was extended to the northeast 3.2 miles (5.1 km) on May 23, 1951, 7.0 miles (11.3 km) on December 18, 1951, 14.0 miles (22.5 km) on December 17, 1952, and 2.3 miles (3.7 km) on April 24, 1954. The designation was extended 10.0 miles (16.1 km) on September 29, 1954 to the end of FM 1749, which was cancelled and combined with FM 1217, adding 17.8 miles (28.6 km) and bringing its southern terminus to Sheffield. On December 13, 1956, FM 1217 was signed, but not designated, as part of SH 349. In 1990, FM 1217 was officially designated as SH 349, and FM 1217 was cancelled. On July 31, 2003, SH 349 was rerouted around Midland.
In December 2014, the Texas Transportation Commission approved an extension of the SH 349 designation south of Lamesa, from the current northern terminus at SH 137 eastward to US 87. As of January 2015[update], this segment has not been constructed.
