Farm to Market Roads in Texas are owned and maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).

Farm to Market Road 1 (FM 1) was the first farm-to-market road to be designated in Texas, at the request of local industry for a paved road. The 18.6-mile (29.9 km) road provides access to rural areas of East Texas from U.S. Highway 96.

Farm to Market Road 2 is a farm to market road in rural southeastern Grimes County, Texas. FM 2 was designated on July 29, 1941.

FM 2 begins in the village of Courtney, at a county road near the Washington County line. It runs along the northeastern edge of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice O.L. Luther Prison Unit. It then continues through rural farmland in Grimes County. It then travels east, crossing SH 6 and passing several prison farms before ending at FM 362.
