State Highway 138 (SH 138) is a state highway that runs between U.S. Highway 183 and SH 195 across northern Williamson County, Texas. The highway was originally part of SH 195. When SH 195 was redirected north of Florence to Killeen over RM 440 in 1988, this portion was redesignated as SH 138.
SH 138 begins at an intersection with US 183 in rural Williamson County, near the Burnet County line. It two lanes wide and travels east with some curves passing through no incorporated municipalities. North of Florence, it intersects Business SH 195, the former alignment of SH 195. About 0.6 miles (0.97 km) later, it ends at an interchange with SH 195 which opened in 2014 as a part of improvements made to SH 195 corridor.
SH 138 was previously designated by 1931 as a short connector route in Childress County, cosigned with U.S. Highway 62. By 1939, the designation had been cancelled in favor of US 62.
The entire highway is in Williamson County.
