==History==
On September 2526, 1939, '''Loop&nbsp;10''' was designated to run from [[Texas State Highway 114|SH&nbsp;114]] to [[Texas State Highway 121|SH&nbsp;121]] in [[Grapevine, Texas|Grapevine]] in [[Tarrant County, Texas|Tarrant County]] via Dallas Road as a renumbering of either SH 114 Loop or SH 121 Loop. Loop&nbsp;10 was canceled on April 25, 1960 and removed from the highway system in exchange for the creation of [[Texas State Highway Spur 103|Spur 103]].<ref name=Spur10/>▼

Spur&nbsp;10 was revived on September 29, 1994 to start on SH&nbsp;36 at a distance {{convert|5.2|mi|km|1}} northeast of Rosenberg in Fort Bend County. From that point, the spur ran southeast to end at what is now [[Interstate 69 in Texas|Future Interstate 69<!--(I-69)-->]]/[[U.S. Route 59 in Texas|U.S. Route 59 (US&nbsp;59)]]. In 2010 the certified distance was {{convert|4.236|mi|km|3}}. On August 30, 2012, Spur&nbsp;10 was extended southeast from US&nbsp;59 to SH&nbsp;36 in Pleak to make a total distance of {{convert|9.1|mi|km|1}}.<ref name=Spur10/>
 
==Route description==
Spur&nbsp;10 begins at a stop sign on SH&nbsp;36 in Pleak. There is a [[Chevron Corporation|Chevron]] filling station and market on the corner. From its starting point, Spur&nbsp;10 heads straight northwest {{convert|5.0|mi|km|1}} to a bridge over Future I-69/US&nbsp;59 and the [[Union Pacific Railroad]] tracks. This stretch of the highway is named Gerken Road near Pleak, but as it goes northwest it becomes known as Hartledge Road. Traffic on Spur&nbsp;10 can access Future I-69/US&nbsp;59 to the northeast by a feeder road and to the southwest by a ramp off the overpass. From Future I-69/US&nbsp;59, the highway continues northeast about {{convert|1.0|mi|km|1}} where it turns to the north. Spur&nbsp;10 continues for a distance of {{convert|1.2|mi|km|1}} to a bridge over [[U.S. Route 90 Alternate (Texas)|U.S. Route 90 Alternate]] (US&nbsp;90A90 Alt.)]]. Traffic on Spur&nbsp;10 can access US&nbsp;90A90 Alt. in both directions. From the overpass, the highway continues in a northerly direction for an additional {{convert|1.9|mi|km|1}} before ending at a stop sign on SH&nbsp;36. In the stretch from Future I-69/US&nbsp;59 to SH&nbsp;36, the highway is also known as Patton Road and falls within the city limits of Rosenberg.<ref name=Google>{{google maps |url=https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=State+Highway+36+and+Patton+Road&daddr=State+Highway+36+and+Gerken+Road&hl=en&ll=29.526268,-95.851936&spn=0.116059,0.2005&sll=29.524326,-95.840607&sspn=0.116061,0.2005&geocode=Fb5VwwEdJttI-ilzacJb5RlBhjF-5P5S_eX3zw%3BFUu8wQEd1f1J-inJjmqAVQNBhjEjL2KGltf6HA&mra=ls&t=m&z=13 |accessdate=April 9, 2013}}</ref><ref name="Mapbook 1841 2018">{{TxDOT Mapbook|page=1841|year=2018|link=no|accessdate=August 17, 2020}}</ref><ref name="Mapbook 1881 2018">{{TxDOT Mapbook|page=1881|year=2018|link=no|accessdate=August 17, 2020}}</ref>
