Encyclopedia
Farm to Market Road 235, or FM 235, in the eastern part of Texas
(USA
), runs about 10.58 miles (17 km) from an intersection with TX 110 in New Summerfield
east past a multiplex intersection, then southward to an intersection with TX 204
near Reklaw

. Before 1951, a previous version of FM 235 was commissioned by Minute Order in 1945, and located in Jackson County north of Edna
which went from TX 111 east 1 mile and west 2 miles. This use of FM 235 was cancelled in 1948 due to the designation of FM 822.
FM 235 has no local street names. Mostly rural for all of its length, FM 235 passes by a landscape of rolling hills of trees and farmland. All of FM 235 has 2 lanes and no shoulders.

The western terminus intersection connects to TX 110 which goes south to Rusk, Texas
and north to Troup
and Tyler

and northwest to Jacksonville
. Besides intersections at various county roads, FM 235 has a brief multiplex with FM 2274
