Texas lawmakers are taking steps to honor the elite warriors of the U.S. Army Rangers with the introduction of House Bill 3815. This legislation aims to create two new specialty license plates recognizing individuals who have served in the Army Ranger units or graduated from Ranger School, as well as members of the distinguished 75th Ranger Regiment.

During a recent Senate Committee on Transportation meeting, the bill's sponsor emphasized the importance of acknowledging the contributions of Army Rangers, who have played pivotal roles in nearly every major conflict in U.S. history. The initiative responds to requests from veterans and active-duty Rangers for formal recognition in the Lone Star State.

Glenn Donahoe, representing the U.S. Army Ranger Association, provided testimony supporting the bill. He explained that the two license plates would cater to the different paths individuals take to become Rangers—either through service in Ranger units or by completing Ranger School. Donahoe highlighted that the plates would honor all Rangers, regardless of their branch of service, rank, or educational background, reinforcing the pride and recognition they deserve.

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles is set to assist in the implementation of this initiative, which aims to foster a sense of pride among Rangers and the broader community. The bill's passage would not only serve as a tribute to these elite soldiers but also promote awareness of their sacrifices and contributions to national security.

As the legislative process continues, supporters of House Bill 3815 remain optimistic about its potential to honor the legacy of Army Rangers in Texas, ensuring their service is recognized and celebrated.
