Bill → law → agency context
This relationship layer distinguishes what the normalized official record can prove from what it cannot. Enactment and effective dates come from the bill record. Agency names below are shown only when an official fiscal document supplies a verified agency reference; being cited in a fiscal note does not by itself prove that the agency administers the resulting law.
Official fiscal-note agency context
No verified agency references are available from the latest parsed official fiscal material. KeepTXRed does not infer an administering agency from the bill topic or title.

KeepTXRed summary
HB 1135 was a House-passed proposal to give the 2023 Texas law addressing temporary vehicle tags and tampering with governmental records a short title: the Terrin Solbrig Act. It did not create new temporary-tag offenses or penalties and did not pass the Senate.
What would change
The proposal would only have designated Chapter 125, Acts of the 88th Legislature, Regular Session, 2023 (H.B. 914), as the Terrin Solbrig Act.
Who may be affected
Motor-vehicle enforcement officials, Texans tracking paper-tag fraud policy, and people researching the history of the 2023 temporary-tag law.
When it would take effect
HB 1135 did not take effect. It passed the House and reached the Senate intent calendar but did not receive final Senate passage.
Limits and uncertainty
Because HB 1135 was primarily a naming bill, the substantive temporary-tag and governmental-record rules enacted in 2023 were unaffected by its failure.
Editorial sources and review notes
Official House text, committee analysis and stages reviewed. This proposal primarily supplied a short title to existing 2023 law.
Editorial explanation reviewed 9/6/2026.
