Relating to the designation of a portion of State Highway 302 in Ector County as the Trooper Kevin Ramirez Vasquez Memorial Highway.

HB 1708 designates a specific segment of State Highway 302 in Ector County (between Farm-to-Market Road 2019 and the Ector-Winkler County line) as the "Trooper Kevin Ramirez Vasquez Memorial Highway" to honor a Texas Highway Patrol officer. The bill requires the Texas Department of Transportation to install markers at both ends of the designated highway segment and at appropriate intermediate locations along the route. This is a commemorative designation with no policy changes or financial impacts beyond the marker installation. The bill became effective September 1, 2025, after being signed by the Governor on May 24, 2025.
