Bill > SB1351

This bill designates a specific portion of U.S. Highway 281 in Hidalgo County, Texas, as the "U.S. Border Patrol Agent Jose Rodriguez-Lua Memorial Highway." The designated section runs between the intersections with Farm-to-Market Road 493 and Farm-to-Market Road 88. The Texas Department of Transportation is required to design and construct markers indicating this memorial designation, including placing a marker at each end of the highway and at appropriate intermediate sites. This memorial highway designation will be in addition to any existing highway designations. The bill is intended to take effect on September 1, 2025, and is part of the 89th Legislature's legislative session. The purpose appears to be honoring a Border Patrol agent by naming a highway segment after him, which is a common practice for recognizing public service and sacrifice.
