LEGISLATION

Fritch, TX Post Office to Be Renamed 'Chief Zeb Smith Post Office'

The bill does one straightforward thing: it officially renames the U.S. Postal Service facility at 107 North Hoyne Avenue in Fritch, Texas, as the 'Chief Zeb Smith Post Office.' This isn't about changing operations or services—it's purely a designation. Per Section 1 of the bill, every law, regulation, map, document, and record of the United States that refers to that specific post office will have to use the new name going forward.

Honoring a Local Figure

This kind of bill is mainly about recognizing Chief Zeb Smith's contributions. For folks in Fritch, this could be a point of local pride, a way to keep his memory alive in the community. It's a symbolic gesture, but those can matter in small towns. Think of it like a local landmark being named after someone who made a difference—except in this case, it's the place where you pick up your mail.

Zero Disruption

There is nothing in the bill that will change how the post office runs. No changes for postal workers, no service disruptions, no new costs. It's purely an administrative name change.
