Texhomex is a marker showing the tripoint of Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico. The marker is off U.S. Highway 56 about east on Texas State Line Road at the corner of Oklahoma State Line Road, and is at an elevation of .Clark, Patterson & Denise Lu "Cornering America's tripoints: A guide to 65 lonely spots where at least three states converge" (Sept. 17, 2015) (Accessed Nov. 29, 2021) No signs are posted on Highway 56 in either direction.
The tristate marker is typically covered by soil, but a concrete pillar marker can be seen from a nearby fence.

Other nearby geographic points The northwest corner of Texas is located just west of this point, although it should theoretically be at the same spot. The great distance is due to surveying errors in 1859 by surveyor John H. Clark. The joint congressional resolution in 1911 declared the line surveyed by Clark to be the actual boundary line between Texas and New Mexico. The northwest corner of the Texas Panhandle had been previously marked,[coloradoguy.com/nw-texas-marker/photos.htm "The Northwest corner of Texas - near Clayton, New Mexico"] but the marker was either removed or buried when the highway was widened in 2016."Trip report - Nov. 20, 1990 by Jack Parsell" HighPointers.org Nov. 20, 1990
The marker for the Cimarron Meridian initial point is located about north of the Texhomex corner, and is marked by a concrete pillar and a sign."Cimarron Principal Meridian (Clayton, NM)"
