The northwest most portion is closed due to 209. If you start on 1791 and go SOUTHEAST everything else is open. Forest roads have been slowly opening over the last six weeks, but the forest service only posts an update every 30 days.

Many Sam Houston National Forest roads are open again, or will be opening soon. Refer to USFS Texas Pages for info on particular roads. Drove this from FM1791 South and several side roads. All dry. Repairs in the area are ongoing, so you might meet up with a gravel truck or two (18 Wheelers) and have to find a spot to let them by. FS209 West from 1791 is still showing to be closed on the FS web site.
