Bill Summary

AN ACT relating to the designation of the portion of State Highway 249 in Montgomery County as the Paul P. Mendes Memorial Parkway.

AI Summary

This bill designates a portion of State Highway 249 in Montgomery County as the Paul P. Mendes Memorial Parkway. Specifically, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is required to design and erect markers that identify the highway with this memorial designation. The markers will be placed at each end of the highway and at appropriate intermediate locations. The designation is additional to any existing highway names or markers, meaning it does not replace the current highway designation. The bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, and appears to be a way to honor Paul P. Mendes by memorializing his name on this stretch of highway in Montgomery County. The bill was passed unanimously by both the Texas House of Representatives (131-0 with 3 present but not voting) and the Texas Senate (31-0), suggesting broad support for the memorial designation.
