FM 9 begins at an intersection with US 79 in the unincorporated community of Panola.[2] The route travels north into Waskom, where it crosses I-20; access from I-20 is provided via exit 633 (eastbound) and 635 (westbound).[3] The route has a brief concurrency with US 80 before turning back toward the north. FM 9 straddles the east side of the Longhorn Army Ammunition Plant before ending near the south shore of Caddo Lake.[4]
The current FM 9 was designated on May 23, 1951. The original route was the segment from US 79 to FM 451 near Elysian Fields. The highway was extended to US 80 in Waskom on November 18, 1953, replacing a section of FM 451,[1] and further north to 4.8 miles (7.7 km) north of US 80 on May 5, 1966, and to 1.9 miles (3.1 km) south of FM 1999 on June 2, 1967. On July 11, 1968, the highway was extended north to FM 1999 and FM 2457. On August 5, 1968, FM 2457 was combined, extending FM 9 to its current terminus.

A previous FM 9 was formed from Midland south 12.0 miles (19.3 km) on March 26, 1942, when the route was designated from part of SH 137. On August 3, 1943, that route was redesignated as part of SH 349. This was the first Farm to Market Road to be cancelled. That routing has no connection to the current designation.[1]
