On Tuesday, the Texas House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved House Bill 137, filed by State Representative Ken Paxton of McKinney. House Bill 137 would require the "Welcome to Texas" signs on major highways to include, "Proud to be the home of President George W. Bush," by 2006. Additionally, an amendment was filed and passed to add the names of former Presidents George Herbert Walker Bush and Lyndon Baines Johnson to the signs after February 2009, when President George W. Bush has left the White House. "This was an exciting vote for me, and I am really pleased with the outcome," Paxton said. "There have only been 43 United States Presidents, and three have been from Texas." Before becoming law, this bill must first be approved by the Senate and signed into law by Governor Rick Perry.
