Rep. Terry Wilson introduced HB 4953 to the Texas House on Thursday, April 3 during the 89(R) legislative session, according to the Texas Legislature website.

More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to the designation of Ranch-to-Market Road 1431 in Llano, Burnet, Travis, and Williamson Counties as the Gary P. Nunn Memorial Highway’’.

The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.

This bill designates Ranch-to-Market Road 1431 in Llano, Burnet, Travis, and Williamson counties as the Gary P. Nunn Memorial Highway, in addition to any other current designations. The Texas Department of Transportation is tasked with designing, constructing, and erecting markers along the highway to indicate the new designation and provide relevant information. The legislation ensures that provisions are uniquely numbered to avoid duplication. The bill is set to take effect on Sept. 1, 2025.

Terry Wilson, chair of the House Committee on Higher Education and member of the House Committee on Redistricting, proposed another seven bills during the 89(R) legislative session.

Wilson graduated from Texas A&M University in 1990 with a BS.

Terry Wilson is currently serving in the Texas State House, representing the state's 20th House district. He replaced previous state representative Marsha Farney in 2017.

Bills in Texas go through a multi-step legislative process, including committee review, debates, and votes in both chambers before reaching a final decision. Each session, there are typically thousands of bills introduced, but only a portion successfully navigate the process to become law.
