HB 3461 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to certain memorial markers and designations on highways in this state.

HB 3461 requires standardized memorial signs for motorcyclists killed in highway collisions (excluding those under the influence of alcohol or drugs). Each sign must include a safety message selected by the Texas Transportation Commission, the phrase "In Memory Of" with the victim's name(s), and the collision date. The bill also limits maintenance of these markers after 10 years unless funds are donated, and mandates the Transportation Commission adopt safety message rules by December 2025. This affects highway memorial placements and maintenance practices across Texas, effective September 2025.
