(USA
), runs about 13.83 miles (22.3 km) from an intersection with TX 294
in Alto
, north past 2 intersections to downtown Rusk
where it intersects FM 23, Loop 62, and US 84
/TX 110. The road is located in central Cherokee County
. Originally, FM 752 was shorter due to the commission in the Minute Order in 1947; its southern terminus was 7.8 miles (12.6 km) south of Rusk, then north to downtown Rusk. A 1972 Minute Order added 6.5 miles (10.5 km) more from another road, FM 2139 (current designation is RM 2139), which brought the southern terminus down to Alto.
FM 752 has 3 local street names: Quincy Avenue and Palestine Street in Alto, and Main Street in Rusk. Urban at each terminus and largely rural for the rest of its length, FM 752 passes by a landscape of rolling hills of trees and farmland. All of FM 752 has 2 lanes and no shoulders.
Even though FM 752 was originally commissioned in 1947, it is unclear exactly when any part of FM 752 was built. The road serves just the towns of Alto and Rusk. The southern terminus intersection connects to TX 294, which goes west to Elkhart
and is a short distance from TX 21, which goes east to Nacogdoches
and southwest to Crockett
