'''Capps Corner''' is an [[Unincorporated area|unincorporated community]] in [[Montague County, Texas|Montague County]], [[Texas]], United States.

The town is at the intersection of [[Farm to Market Road 1956]], or "Hoosier Highway", and [[Farm to Market Road 677]], 13 miles east of [[Nocona, Texas|Nocona]], eight miles north of [[Saint Jo, Texas|Saint Jo]], and six miles south of [[Illinois Bend, Texas|Illinois Bend]] in far northeastern Montague County. The settlement was established ''circa'' 1925 and named for E. G. (Cap) Adams. It was still listed as a community in 1990.  Central to this small village was a "filling station" at the corner of the two farm roads, with "Capps Corner" written above the old-fashioned pumps.  The store remained in business well into the 1980s; though it has since closed, it can still be seen there.  The town also once boasted a small school until it consolidated with the [[Saint Jo Independent School District]] in 1961.  The school can still be seen about one city block west of the old filling station. The population is less than 100.
