State Highway 98, or SH 98, is a north–south state highway in Bowie County, Texas, covering a total distance of 8.913 miles (14.344 km). Its northern terminus is at U.S. Highway 82, 3.3 miles (5.3 km) due west of New Boston. From there, it travels half a mile south, passing under Interstate 30. Two miles further south, it intersects Farm to Market Road 1840, and FM 561 beyond that. It ends at U.S. Highway 67 in the unincorporated community of Simms. The original route originally ended closer to New Boston traveling along current FM 1840, but was redirected north along FM 2552 in 1966.
SH 98 begins at an intersection with U.S. Route 67 at the community of Simms. The route then travels to the north through ranchlands and forested areas in central Bowie County. Noteworthy sights along this route include the Telford Unit, a 2,832-bedTexas Department of Criminal Justice prison site named for state congressman and De Kalb resident Barry Telford. The route crosses Interstate 30 before reaching its northern terminus about a mile further north at U.S. Route 82. The road continues further north as Farm to Market Road 3378.
