On April 10, 1934, this route was cancelled, as it became part of SH 35. The SH 57 designation was once again used beginning on August 5, 1966, on a route from Eagle Pass to near Moore, as a renumbering of SH 76 and to coincide with Mexican  Federal Highway 57. This route would be renumbered US 57 on August 31, 1970. The current SH 57 was designated on February 21, 1994.
