No changes required. Vendor agreements, leases, and employment contracts citing "State Loop 255" remain legally valid. Do not amend contracts to reflect the memorial name.
No changes required.
Do not update corporate filings. The designation is honorary. Updating Secretary of State filings, tax permits, or billing addresses to the memorial name will result in mail delivery failures and administrative confusion. Ensure accounts payable and mailroom staff understand that the physical signage change does not constitute a legal address change.
None. There are no fees or levies associated with this designation for local businesses.
Funding-Dependent Installation (Transportation Code § 225.021(c)):
While the Legislative Budget Board assumes costs will be absorbed by existing resources, the statute subjects the project to Section 225.021(c). This provision legally relieves TxDOT of the obligation to design or erect markers until a grant or donation covers the cost. Consequently, businesses should not expect signage to appear immediately on September 1, 2025, if state maintenance budgets are constrained.
