Cross Roads is an unincorporated community in southwestern Henderson County, Texas, United States.

The first permanent building in the area was a church, which was erected after the Union-Center school moved from Thompson's Mill to the Cross Roads location.

In 1908, a one-room school was erected; it was taught by Sam Holland, who later became district judge of Henderson County.

In the early part of the twentieth century numerous gins, gristmills, and other businesses supportive of an agricultural community thrived at Cross Roads.

Cotton and ranching were the most important agricultural activities in the district, particularly in the Trinity River bottom, but other areas produced various truck crops and fruit.
