Bill > HB2153

This bill designates a specific portion of U.S. Highway 377 that is currently under construction as a bypass route around Cresson, Texas, located in Hood and Johnson Counties, as the "Bob Cornett Parkway". The bill requires the Texas Department of Transportation to design and erect highway markers identifying the new parkway name, with markers to be placed at the beginning and end of the designated highway segment, as well as at appropriate intermediate locations. The bill specifies that this new designation is in addition to any existing highway names or designations, and is set to take effect on September 1, 2025. While the bill does not provide context about Bob Cornett, the naming suggests he was likely a person of significance to the local community or region who is being honored through this highway designation.
