Designation Through Legislative Action

The Texas Legislature may designate a memorial marker or named marker highway, bridge, or other structure on the state highway system.
After legislation is passed, TRF notifies the district or districts involved and develops a legislative implementation plan. The district or districts work with TRF to install the signs.
Financing.
A donation through a private entity or local government is required to finance the fabrication and installation of the signs. TxDOT bears all expenses associated with the maintenance of the signs.
