State Highway 13 (SH 13) was a state highway in the U.S. state of Texas that ran from Amarillo due west to the New Mexico border near Glenrio, Texas.
SH 13 was one of the original twenty-six state highways proposed in 1917, overlaid on top of the Ozark Trail. From 1917 the routing mostly followed present-day United States Highway 60 from Farwell through Amarillo to Pampa. From there, the highway turned east on present-day SH 152 to the border near Wheeler.
In 1919, SH 13 was completely reassigned to a small segment traveling due west from Amarillo to New Mexico on the route that would later be U.S. Highway 66; the eastern portion of the future US 66 route was added by 1922.
In 1926, US 66 was overlaid on the entire SH 13 route; the routes were marked concurrently, by 1933, the routing had been pulled back to its Amarillo-Endee segment, and by 1939 SH 13 was canceled, and has never been reassigned.
