HR 5799 United States House · 118th Congress

James R. Dominguez Memorial Act of 2023

HR 5799, the James R. Dominguez Memorial Act of 2023, designates a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint on U.S. Highway 90 West in Uvalde County, Texas, as the "James R. Dominguez Border Patrol Checkpoint" to honor Agent James R. Dominguez, who died in 2012 while clearing road debris. The bill updates all federal references - such as laws, maps, and documents - to use this new name for the checkpoint. It does not change border patrol operations or policies, only the official designation of the location. This memorial act directly affects the checkpoint's identity and all federal records referencing it.
