Route history
A highway was originally designated on March 16, 1925 from Thurber to Lampasas, but it did not take effect until conditions were met.[2] On June 22, 1925, a branch to Chalk Mountain was added.[3] SH 108 was originally designated on July 13, 1925, from Lampasas to San Antonio, with one section replacing a section of SH 46.[4] On March 8, 1926, SH 108 was extended north to Strawn, with a branch to Chalk Mountain added.[5] On June 24, 1931, the section south of Strawn was redesignated as the new state-length SH 66,[6] and the rest was cancelled in exchange of mileage. On July 22, 1932, the section of SH 108 from Stephenville to Strawn was restored.[7] SH 108 has followed the same routing since that time.
State Highway 108A was a spur routing of SH 108 that led from Lampasas east to Rosebud. The route was designated on March 16, 1925, and numbered on March 8, 1926.[2] On March 19, 1930, the route had been renumbered as SH 53 (now US 190).
