HB 3354 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the designation of a portion of State Highway 11 in Morris County as the Army Staff Sergeant Samuel T. Castle Memorial Highway.

HB 3354 designates a specific section of State Highway 11 in Morris County (between Daingerfield and Hughes Springs) as the "Army Staff Sergeant Samuel T. Castle Memorial Highway." The bill requires the Texas Department of Transportation to install markers at both ends of the highway and at intermediate locations along the designated stretch. This is a ceremonial designation with no funding or policy changes - its sole purpose is to honor Army Staff Sergeant Samuel T. Castle through highway naming. The bill does not affect any laws, regulations, or government programs beyond the memorial signage.
