A bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 505 East 9th Avenue in Amarillo, Texas, as the “Mayor Jerry H. Hodge Post Office Building”.

S. 2394 would designate the U.S. Postal Service facility at 505 East 9th Avenue in Amarillo, Texas, as the "Mayor Jerry H. Hodge Post Office Building." The bill also directs that any existing law, map, regulation, document, or other federal record referring to this facility be treated as referring to it by this new name. This is a commemorative naming bill and does not change postal operations, funding, or services at the facility.

The designation affects how the federal government formally refers to this specific Amarillo post office; it has no direct regulatory or financial effect on the public, postal customers, or USPS operations beyond the name change and related recordkeeping.

The bill was introduced in the Senate on July 23, 2025, by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), with Senator John Cornyn as a cosponsor, and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. On August 6, 2026, the committee ordered it reported without amendment, favorably. Next, it would need to be scheduled for a vote by the full Senate; if passed there, it would go to the House for consideration before it could be signed into law.
