The bill was formatted and finalized for official enactment after passing both legislative chambers. The substantive policy content remains unchanged, designating a bridge on State Highway 242 in Montgomery County as the Lance Corporal Armando Hernandez Memorial Bridge and requiring the Texas Department of Transportation to install commemorative markers.

TECHNICAL

Removed draft formatting markers (e.g., 'AA', line numbers) and replaced them with clean, official enrolled text suitable for publication and implementation.

Added certification signatures and dates confirming the bill passed the House on April 30, 2025, and the Senate on May 25, 2025, with final gubernatorial approval.

Removed placeholder text and draft annotations that were present in the earlier Engrossed version but are not part of the final enacted law.
