Legislative bill overview

SR 401 is a memorial resolution honoring Eva Marie Coe of Tyler, Texas. The bill was introduced by Senator Bryan Hughes and was read, adopted, and enrolled by the Texas Senate on April 14, 2025.

Why is this important

Memorial resolutions serve as official legislative acknowledgment of individuals who have passed away or made significant contributions to their communities. While non-binding and largely ceremonial, such resolutions provide formal recognition that becomes part of the legislative record and may be shared with the deceased's family.

Potential points of contention

  • Memorial resolutions consume legislative time and resources that some argue could be directed toward substantive policy matters
  • No public information is provided about Eva Marie Coe's specific accomplishments or why legislative recognition was warranted
  • The selective nature of memorials raises questions about equity—not all citizens receive this recognition regardless of their contributions
