[edit] Route description
SH-53 begins at a T intersection in Walters, where State Highway 5 makes up the western and southern legs of the T. SH-53 runs eastward from here, meeting SH-65 five miles later and in Comanche it intersects U.S. 81. It then serves as the northern terminus for SH-89, and has a three-mile duplex with State Highway 76.
After splitting from SH-76 it runs eastward to Interstate 35, which it duplexes with for two miles. It meets U.S. 77 in Springer before passing through Gene Autry and ending at U.S. 177.
