House Bill No. 2763 proposes the designation of a Texas Department of Transportation building in Starr County as the Eduardo "Eddie" Gracia, Jr., P.E., Area Engineer and Maintenance Facility. The bill adds a new section, Section 201.2004, to the Transportation Code, which specifies that the building housing the area engineer's office for Starr County as of January 1, 2025, will receive this designation. The Texas Department of Transportation is tasked with designing and constructing markers at the facility to indicate this designation and updating existing highway signage accordingly.

However, the bill stipulates that the department is not obligated to create these markers or update signage unless private funds are donated to cover the associated costs. Any funds received for this purpose will be deposited into the state highway fund. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds majority vote from both houses of the legislature; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025.
