What does it do?
HB2415 designates the part of Farm-to-Market Road 969 in Travis County between Decker Lane and U.S. Highway 183 as the Senior Police Officer Lewis “Andy” Traylor Memorial Highway. This is an additional memorial designation; it does not replace the road’s existing designation or rename all of FM969. The law took effect September 1, 2025. Final law, Sections 1 and 3; official history.
The Texas Department of Transportation must design and install memorial markers at both ends and appropriate intermediate locations, subject to receiving a grant or donation covering design, construction and installation. The incorporated general law also requires the department to repair and replace markers and maintain their grounds. The designation itself does not prove that funds have been donated or signs installed. Final law, Section 1; marker funding and upkeep rule.
What changed along the way?
The introduced and House committee texts used section number 225.243; the engrossed and final texts use 225.250. The named person, road endpoints, marker requirements and September 1 effective date remained the same. Section 2 expressly permits renumbering to avoid duplicate section designations. This was a numbering change, not a different stretch of highway. Introduced text; House committee text; engrossed text; final law.
The official amendment index lists no amendments, and both committees reported the bill without amendments. All five text versions were compared; Senate committee and enrolled differences are printing/certification material rather than policy changes. Amendment index; text versions; history.

Who could benefit—and who could bear the costs?
The designation provides public recognition for Officer Traylor and a place of remembrance for his family, colleagues and community. Donors or grant providers must cover initial marker design and installation costs before that work can proceed; TxDOT retains the general upkeep duty. This act does not fund road widening, change traffic rules or create a payment to the officer’s family. Final law; marker rule.
The Legislative Budget Board’s May 2, 2025 engrossed fiscal note anticipates no significant state fiscal implication, assumes costs can be absorbed with existing resources and anticipates no local-government fiscal implication. The March 24 introduced note agrees. Neither gives a specific sign price or confirms that a donation has been received. Engrossed fiscal note; introduced fiscal note.
