The bill, H.B. No. 767, proposes to designate a portion of State Highway 249 in Montgomery County as the "Paul P. Mendes Memorial Parkway." This designation is to be added to any existing designations of the highway. The bill includes provisions for the Texas Department of Transportation to design and construct markers that indicate this new designation, as well as to erect a marker at each end of the highway and at appropriate intermediate sites along the route.
The new legal language added to the Transportation Code specifies the responsibilities of the department regarding the signage and markers for the memorial parkway. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
