State Highway 101 or SH 101 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Texas that runs from Bowie to Bridgeport. It was designated along its route in 1976, running from Bowie south parallel to U.S. Route 81 (possibly a previous routing of U.S. 81), then turning south toward Bridgeport along a previous portion of SH 114.

[edit] Previous routes

SH 101 was previously designated by 1933 on a route from Snyder through Colorado City to Sterling City. By 1939, it was completed, with a terminus just west of Sterling City. The section north of Colorado City was transferred to SH 208 in 1956, with the remaining portion of the route cancelled and transferred to the northern extension of SH 163 in 1957.
