Couple things I found on a recent trip to south Texas:
Are there possibly two TX 550s? (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4juAXgJbSiKSGZkNDdLeEtqOFk/view)
The photo was taken on TX 550 northbound, just north of TX 48. The exit sign shows that a route called TX 550 is leaving the highway, which continues on as Toll 550. TX 550 doesn't go anywhere (it just becomes a frontage road that ends at a u-turn and heads back to the southbound highway prior to its end at TX 48) but it is signed along the way (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4juAXgJbSiKd3E3TEluLXBhRGs).
At the I-69E end, there are separate exits for TX 550 and Toll 550 (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4juAXgJbSiKcUJqS2ZfcWp3QlE). Following the exit labelled TX550, the only signage is for FM 511 and "To Toll 550" (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4juAXgJbSiKYzRqRzJMSmJKTkk).
Also, the ramps linking Loop 20 to TX 359 in Laredo were signed Spur 259 when I was there. Unfortunately I didn't think to take a picture, not realizing the route wasn't in the HB, but I found this TxDOT documentation (http://www.dot.state.tx.us/tpp/hwy/SL/SL0020.htm) mentioning the number (see the last minute order on the page).

TX550:
Numbered Toll Roads, I lumped into a "parent system"; USATX, USATXL or USATXS as appropriate.
I'm not making any distinctions of toll/mainline vs. free/frontage for same-numbered routes.
The exception is for different designations, such as President George Bush Turnpike vs. TX161 or TX190.
I discussed this a bit during peer review on AARoads. (http://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=16776.msg2104632#msg2104632)
I'll be leaving this as-is.
Following the exit labelled TX550, the only signage is for FM 511 and "To Toll 550".
From what I remember of reading the designation files during development, this makes perfect sense.
TXSpr259:
I remember coming across that one during development, and leaving it out as unsigned.
If it's signed, I may need to add it in. Where do you remember the sign being?
Note to self:
TXLp20 could possibly use points at Cielito Lindo Blvd & Lomas Del Sur Blvd. These have "future interchange" written all over them. I'll see how they work out WRT the Half Mile Rule. Edit: Done. (https://github.com/TravelMapping/HighwayData/pull/1570)

OK, makes sense.

On TX 359. GMSV has not been updated. I remember it being there because I was on TX 359 looking for a sign to Loop 20 south, and never saw one. Eventually I figured out I needed to follow Spur 259. I'm pretty sure there was a sign on Spur 259 itself also, southbound at least.
