SH 61 crosses I-10 near the community of Turtle Bayou, northeast of Lake Anahuac.^[3] The route travels north into Liberty County before reaching its northern terminus in Devers at US 90.^[1]

SH 61 was designated on August 21, 1923, from Devers to Anahuac replacing part of SH 35A (the rest was cancelled).^[4] Its official designation has remained unchanged since the 1939 redescription of the Texas highway system.^[1]
