To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 620 East Pecan Boulevard in McAllen, Texas, as the "Agent Raul H. Gonzalez Jr. Memorial Post Office Building".

119th Congress Introduced Mar 10, 2025

Summary

What This Bill Does

This bill names a specific postal facility in McAllen, Texas. The United States Postal Service building at 620 East Pecan Boulevard would be known as the Agent Raul H. Gonzalez Jr. Memorial Post Office Building. Any federal law, map, regulation, document, paper, or record that refers to that facility would be treated as referring to the new memorial name. The measure does not alter postal services or local mail routes; its legal effect is to memorialize Agent Gonzalez and make federal records use the new designation.

Who Benefits and How

The family and colleagues of Agent Raul H. Gonzalez Jr. benefit from a permanent federal memorial at the McAllen postal facility. McAllen residents benefit from a public federal building name that recognizes local service and sacrifice. Border Patrol and law enforcement communities benefit from congressional recognition of Agent Gonzalez's service. The United States Postal Service benefits from clear statutory authority to use the memorial name in official records.

Who Bears the Burden and How

USPS facilities staff must update signage, references, and local facility materials for the McAllen post office. Federal records managers must treat existing and future references as references to the memorial building name. Federal taxpayers may bear minor signage and administrative update costs. Postal maps and document systems must reflect the new designation.
