Comment:

 Here's some more that don't work but ought to.

 Both of these finds a location a few hours drive time away, just east of
 the intersection of '''State Loop 121''' and '''I-35''':

 {{{
 SELECT ST_AsEWKT(geomout) FROM geocode_intersection('State Highway 121',
 'State Highway 121 Bus', 'TX', 'Coppell') ORDER BY rating ASC LIMIT 1;
 SELECT ST_AsEWKT(geomout) FROM geocode_intersection('State Highway 121',
 'Bus. 121', 'TX', 'Coppell') ORDER BY rating ASC LIMIT 1;
 }}}

 Strangely, the actual road it's matching on is the intersection of '''E
 Loop Dr''' and an unnamed connector lane between that street and
 northbound '''I-35 Svc Rd'''. This is just east of I-35. The tx_edges
 table turns '''E Loop Dr''' into '''State Loop 121''' on the ''west'' side
 of I-35!

 The TIGER name of the correct road is again '''State Highway 121H Bus'''.
 It is again about a 2-3 hour drive from Coppell to Belton, TX, where this
 121 loop is.
