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 in 1943 included only the section from Rankin to Midland, replacing a former route of FM 9. In 1947, FM 177 and FM 306 were redesignated to form the segment of SH 349 from Midland to near Lamesa. The section from Sheffield to Rankin was added in 1956 by redesignating part of SH 51.
The part of SH 349 south of Sheffield was Farm to Market Road 1217, which was designated in 1948 from Dryden northward 5 miles (8 km). FM 1217 was extended to the northeast 10.7 miles (17.2 km) in 1951; this was followed by an extension in the same direction of 14 miles (23 km) the following year. The designation was extended 12.3 miles (19.8 km) in 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. In 1990, the mileage of FM 1217 was transferred to SH 349.
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.
