The bill, H.B. No. 1242, proposes the designation of a segment of U.S. Highway 281 in Brooks County as the "Ernesto Soliz Cantu Memorial Highway." Specifically, this designation applies to the portion of the highway between its intersection with County Road 304 and Huppergate Road. The bill adds a new section, Section 225.243, to the Transportation Code, which outlines the responsibilities of the Texas Department of Transportation regarding this designation.

Under the new section, the department is required to design and construct markers that indicate the highway's designation and provide any other relevant information. Additionally, the department must erect a marker at each end of the designated highway segment and at appropriate intermediate locations along the route. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
