   An East Texas lawmaker is proposing renaming a portion of a major Texas   
   highway after President Donald Trump.   
      
   Rep. Joanne Shofner, who represents the Nacogdoches area, filed a bill to   
   rename a portion of I-35 in Travis County to the President Donald J. Trump   
   Highway.   
      
   The measure would need to pass both the Texas House and Senate before Gov.   
   Greg Abbott can sign the bill, making it a law.   
      
   A press release from Shofner's office said the renaming would "honor the   
   president…for his "big, beautiful" impact on the nation and the state of   
   Texas."   
      
   "It is fitting that his designation is located in our state's capital,   
   recognizing a president whose impact on Texas and the country is profound   
   and enduring," Shofner's statement said, in part.   
      
   The proposed portion of the highway runs through Austin.   
      
   According to state records, the bill, HB 5503, was filed on March 14. No   
   other actions have been taken since then. If Abbott ends up signing the   
   bill, it will take effect on Sept. 1.
