Bill > HB3354

This bill designates a specific portion of State Highway 11 in Morris County, Texas, running between the eastern municipal limits of Daingerfield and the western municipal limits of Hughes Springs, as the "Army Staff Sergeant Samuel T. Castle Memorial Highway" to honor a military service member. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will be responsible for designing and constructing highway markers that indicate the new memorial highway designation, with markers to be placed at each end of the highway and at appropriate intermediate locations. This designation is in addition to any existing highway names or markers, meaning the highway will retain its current designation while also commemorating Staff Sergeant Castle. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, and is part of the 89th Legislature's legislative session, with an intention to ensure proper renumbering of legislative provisions to avoid conflicts.
