West Texas

I-20 begins at a junction with I-10 in a desolate region of West Texas about east of the town of Kent. I-20 leaves the interchange with I-10 and generally heads to the east-northeast passing by the cities of Odessa and Midland. I-20 runs concurrently with the La Entrada al Pacifico corridor from its junction with US 385 in Odessa to its junction with FM 1788 near Midland International Airport. Near Sweetwater, I-20 begins to head due east as it heads towards the city of Abilene. In Abilene, I-20 curves towards the north and transverses the northern part of the city while also forming the northern arc of the loop around the city. I-20 continues heading east from Abilene until the town of Eastland when I-20 takes a more northeasterly route towards Weatherford. In Weatherford, I-20 again heads back towards the east as it heads towards the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex

I-20 interchanges with I-30 west of Fort Worth with I-30 heading east and I-20 to the southeast. I-20 heads back towards the east when it interchanges with Interstate 820. I-20 forms the southern arc of the complete loop around the city of Fort Worth. I-20 also serves as the southernmost west-east freeway in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. I-20 also interchanges with I-35W before heading east towards Dallas. I-20 also forms the southern arc of the partial loop around Dallas with I-635. I-20 also interchanges with I-35E and I-45 in Dallas before heading east towards East Texas.

East Texas

I-20 leaves the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and heads generally to the east-southeast through East Texas. I-20 begins heading to the east as it passes to the north of the city of Tyler. I-20 leaves the state of Texas near Waskom and just west of Shreveport, Louisiana.

Auxiliary route

Interstate 20 has one auxiliary route in Texas.
- Interstate 820 is a loop around the city of Fort Worth. It once completely circumnavigated the city prior to I-20 absorbing the southern section as part of its relocation to the south and I-30 being extended westward over the old alignment of I-20 through the center of town.^[3]
