User:Clay c/Draft:Texas highways

This is a draft of content to use on the Texas page as replacement for the minimal road tagging guidance. It is based on discussions on Talk-us: US Trunk road tagging and the OSMUS Slack. Feel free to discuss or help edit this content prior to any inclusion on Texas.

This page describes Texas-specific determinations for implementing US highway classification values.
