On June 27, 1995, the section from FM 1417 to FM 1753 was transferred to UR 120. On December 17, 2009, the section from Elks Boulevard and Preston Bend junction north of Preston south 6.3 miles (10.1 km) was transferred to SH 289, the section from Worthington Lane in Pottsboro south 0.7 miles (1.1 km) to existing FM 120 was transferred to Spur 316, and FM 120 was extended west 4.5 miles (7.2 km) to Cooks Corner Road/Willow Springs Road, replacing a section of FM 996.
