Texan here. Off the top of my head:

FM (Farm to Market)
RM (Ranch to Market)
Park Road
Recreational Road
Spur
Loop
Toll

And the one-off routes:
Beltway 8
NASA Road 1
OSR

I know that the MapQuest Open renderer recognizes a lot of these without
the road being in a relation (which is super useful, because Texas has a
lot of roads and it's difficult, and in my opinion unnecessary, to make a
relation for each one). Because of this, I'm hesitant to change the ref=*
tags of these roads.
