H.B. No. 2763 designates the building housing the office of the area engineer for Starr County as the Eduardo "Eddie" Gracia, Jr., P.E., Area Engineer and Maintenance Facility, effective January 1, 2025. The bill adds a new section, Section 201.2004, to Subchapter Y, Chapter 201 of the Transportation Code, which outlines the responsibilities of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) regarding this designation. TxDOT is required to design and construct markers at the facility site and update existing highway signage to reflect the new designation, contingent upon receiving private funding to cover these costs.

Additionally, any funds received for the design and construction of the markers or signage updates must be deposited into the state highway fund. The bill stipulates that it will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote from both houses of the legislature; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025.
