Topic: Farm to Market Roads

	List of Texas highways - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There is also a State Highway 495 (renumbered from Farm to Market Road 495), as well as cancelled routes SH 550 (a temporary designation for what is now part of Interstate Highway 30) and SH 824 (a temporary designation for what was later part of SH 24).
		One characteristic of the highways in Texas are its frontage roads; most freeways have continuous frontage roads, one-way in urban areas and two-way in rural areas.
		Farm to Market (abbreviated FM) and Ranch to Market (abbreviated RM) have equal status as secondary highways.

	Texas - FM & RM Roads (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The name is derived from the intended use of the roads: farmers bringing their goods to market in the cities.
		The new classification was needed because, with the growth of urbanized areas, these roads now primarily served urban and suburban residents.
		Although funds for FM & RM roads were supposed to benefit rural areas, the funds were needed for improvements in urban areas.

	Bandera County Road and Bridge Department FMR GASB 34
		Some of Bandera County's worst road problems are concentrated in subdivisions that were built prior to the adoption of the current road standards, which now are incorporated in the county's subdivision rules.
		County commissioners should identify the subdivisions with the worst roads and most complaints, and then decide whether the proposed improvements are necessary for the public's health, safety and welfare.
		Lateral roads usually are county roads, although the term also can be used to denote a "connecting" road built between highways.

	Mattox Opinion No. JM-1101
		The fund is to be used for a system of roads selected by the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation after consultation with the commissioners courts of the counties as to the most needed roads in the counties.
		The county's eminent domain suit was contested on the ground that the road in question was a county road and the commissioners did not follow the correct procedure for condemning land for county roads.
		Thus, the farm-to-market road in Bolin was part of the state highway system for purposes of condemning the right-of-way, but the state was not to pay any of the cost of acquiring the right-of-way.

	Texas Monthly April 1983 : The Farm-to-Market Road
		A good stretch of farm road is the apotheosis of a very Texan institution—the drive for no other purpose than to get the feel of the country—and that is why the farm-to-market road is to Texas what the freeway is to California: not just a highway but a symbol of the culture.
		The law reserves for FM roads 1 cent for every gallon of gasoline sold in Texas—$91.6 million in 1982—plus another $15 million annually, which explains why there is still no four-lane highway between Houston and Austin but there is FM 2688 beginning at U.S. 83 and ending thirteen miles later at Briscoe’s Dimmitt County ranch.
		There are more than three thousand FM roads, numbered in order of construction, from 1 to 3440, but mergings of FM roads and upgradings to state highways have left gaps in the sequence: there is no FM 7, for example, or 29, or 42.

	CGISP Brochure
		A farming system based on irrigation, improved access to credit services and linkages to markets would significantly contribute to increasing farm income and employment opportunities, especially in the Terai region of Nepal.
		Under the Project, farming communities are mobilised into strong groups to eventually grow into a powerful support network by managing and sharing local resources and coping with the challenges of the environment.
		They are eventually expected to evolve as a self-reliant and financially viable farmers association that would give a voice to poor farmers, increase their bargaining power in the market places and in dealing with local authorities.

	Texas Monthly: Read Me. Texas
		You can't drive as fast, and you don't want to, because on a farm-to-market road the feeling is of driving on the land instead of past it.
		FM 1 extended only three miles into the Piney Woods, and the farmer wasn't even the main beneficiary -- the road led to the Temple Lumber Company sawmill at Pineland -- but the prospect of paved roads in the backcountry was enough to stimulate one of the major lobbying campaigns in Texas history.
		The farm-to-market road couldn't keep Texas a rural state, but it could keep alive the notion that the soul of Texas still lies Out There, waiting to be discovered.

	White Opinion No. MW-217
		The question is whether these provisions may be construed so as to permit delinquent tax revenue earmarked for the Farm-to-Market and Lateral Road Fund to be used to pay a delinquent tax attorney for his efforts in collecting that revenue.
		The law is well-settled that an unambiguous statute will ordinarily be interpreted literally and that courts may not, under the guise of statutory construction, read exceptions or exemptions into a statute, no matter how desirable they may seem.
		A 1967 amendment to section 9 provides that 'any county may put all tax money collected by the county into one general fund, without regard to the purpose or source of each tax.' However, this amendment has been held to apply only to these four tax levies and not to section 1-a funds.
