Accomplishments

In 2019…

… FA went to the Texas state capitol to speak in favor of HB 1303, re our roadways designated as “Scenic Highways.” We organized some fine Hays County neighbors to speak as well, all in front of the Texas House Transportation Committee. Our thanks to Texas District 45 House Representative Erin Zwiener (pictured center, in purple jacket) for sponsoring the bill, which unfortunately died in committee. Stay tuned for Round Two.
