State Highway 102 (SH 102) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Texas maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The highway begins at the New Mexico state line near Sedan, New Mexico as a continuation of New Mexico State Road 421 ending at U.S. Route 87 near Dalhart. SH 102 is located in southwestern and south central Dallam County and does not pass through any cities or towns. The highway was first designated in 1948 as a Farm to Market Road before eventually being upgraded to its current highway designation.
SH 102 begins where NM 421, an 8.1-mile (13.0 km) route approaching from NM 402 between Clayton, New Mexico and Amistad, New Mexico, crosses the state line near Sedan. SH 102 intersects FM 296 to Texline just east of the state line. The highway has a short concurrency with FM 3110 before terminating at US 87 7.0 miles (11.3 km) northwest of Dalhart.
The 27.7-mile (44.6 km) rural highway passes through no cities or towns and intersects no major highways between its termini. SH 102 travels in a straight line for almost its entire length encountering only flat High Plains terrain.
