Farm to Market Road 2503 (FM 2503) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Texas that stays within Fayette County. The highway begins at State Highway 71 (SH 71) in Ellinger and goes northeast to end at an intersection with FM 1291 southeast of Fayetteville.
FM 2503 starts at a stop sign on SH 71 in Ellinger. At this point, SH 71 runs to the northwest and since FM 2503 meets it at right angles, the highway heads to the northeast. Hruska's Store and Bakery stands on the northwest side of FM 2503 at the intersection. In Ellinger, FM 2503 is also called Ross Street. After going eight blocks to the northwest the highway leaves Ellinger. At a distance of 2.2 miles (3.5 km) from its beginning, FM 2503 intersects with Saint Mary's Church Road coming from the southeast. From there to the junction with Brushy Road and Ross Prairie Church Road is another 1.9 miles (3.1 km). From Ross Prairie Church Road to the stop sign at FM 1291 is 2.1 miles (3.4 km). The junction is 2.6 miles (4.2 km) southeast of Fayetteville. FM 2503 is approximately parallel with FM 955, which is about 2 miles (3.2 km) to the northwest.
FM 2503 was first designated on October 31, 1957, to start from SH 71 at Ellinger and head northeast for about 6.3 miles (10.1 km) to FM 1291. The route has not been altered since the original authorization.
The entire highway is in Fayette County.
