The bill, S.B. No. 772, 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 located between its intersection with County Road 304 and Huppergate Road. The bill adds a new section, Section 225.243, to Subchapter B of Chapter 225 in the Transportation Code, which outlines the designation and the responsibilities of the Texas Department of Transportation regarding the memorialization.

Under the new section, the Texas Department of Transportation is tasked with designing and constructing markers that indicate the highway's designation and provide any relevant information. Additionally, the department is required to erect a marker at both ends of the designated highway segment and at appropriate intermediate locations along the route. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
