H.B. No. 1242 is a legislative act that designates a specific portion of U.S. Highway 281 in Brooks County as the Ernesto Soliz Cantu Memorial Highway. The designated section runs between its intersection with County Road 304 and Huppergate Road. The bill mandates the Texas Department of Transportation to design and construct markers that indicate this designation, as well as to erect a marker at each end of the highway and at appropriate intermediate sites along the route.

The act will take effect on September 1, 2025, following its passage in both the House and Senate with unanimous support. The new section added to the Transportation Code, Section 225.251, outlines the specifics of the highway designation and the responsibilities of the department regarding the signage.
