To require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to disinter the remains of Fernando V. Cota from Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery, Texas, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB6456, seeks to direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to move the remains of Fernando V. Cota from Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in Texas. The bill also mentions other purposes, though it does not specify what these might be. This action would impact the family of Fernando V. Cota and others who may wish to commemorate or pay respects at the current burial site.
As of the last update on December 4, 2025, the bill has just been introduced and referred to the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs. This means it is still in the early stages of the legislative process and has not yet been discussed or voted on by the full House.
The key actions so far include its introduction on December 4, 2025, and its referral to the relevant committee. No further steps have been taken yet. The sponsors of the bill are Ernest Gonzales, Morgan Luttrell, and Keith Self, all Republicans. The bill's future actions will depend on the committee's review and recommendations.
