HB 2944 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the designation of State Highway 87 as a hurricane evacuation route.

HB 2944 designates all undesignated portions of State Highway 87 as an official hurricane evacuation route. The Texas Transportation Commission must complete this designation "as soon as possible" after the bill's effective date. This directly affects residents and emergency planners in communities along State Highway 87 who rely on designated evacuation routes during hurricanes. The bill requires no new funding or complex procedures - only a formal administrative designation by the Commission.
