What this bill does
S. 917 would rename the U.S. Postal Service facility at 620 East Pecan Boulevard in McAllen, Texas, as the "Agent Raul H. Gonzalez Jr. Memorial Post Office." The bill also directs that any federal law, map, regulation, document, or other record referring to this facility be treated as referring to it by its new memorial name. It makes no other changes to Postal Service operations, funding, or services.
The designation directly affects the naming and official records of this single post office location. It does not change staffing, services, or mail delivery at the facility, and it has no broader effect on postal policy or the public beyond formalizing this local commemorative name.
The bill was introduced in the Senate on March 10, 2025, by Senator John Cornyn, with Senator Ted Cruz as a cosponsor, and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. On August 6, 2026, the committee ordered it reported favorably without amendment. The next step would be consideration by the full Senate; if passed there, it would need to pass the House and be signed by the President before becoming law.
