Farm to Market Road 1264 (FM 1264) is a farm-to-market road located in Lubbock County, Texas, and maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The section of highway within the city limits of Lubbock is known locally as North University Avenue.
FM 1264 begins at an intersection with U.S. Highway 84 (US 84, Clovis Road) in northwest Lubbock; the road continues past here as University Avenue. The highway travels between the Conquistador and Llano Estacado Lakes and runs near the Lubbock County Juvenile Justice Center before meeting Loop 289. Just north of Loop 289, FM 1264 runs past the Lubbock State School and a subdivision before leaving the city limits of Lubbock. Just north of the Lubbock city limits, the highway has an intersection with FM 2641. The rest of FM 1264's route is generally rural before reaching its northern terminus at FM 597 west of Abernathy.
An earlier FM 1264 was designated on July 14, 1949 from FM 279 (now FM 281) 9 miles east of SH 117 (now SH 207), northeast 6 miles to a county road. This was eliminated in 1952.
FM 1264 was designated on December 17, 1952, running from US 84 north to FM 1294. In 1967, the highway was extended farther north to FM 597. In 1995, the section of FM 1264 between US 84 and FM 2641 was designated as Urban Road 1264 by TxDOT. Like other urban roads, the highway still retains its FM signage.
