Governor Greg Abbott signs the Le Roy and Rosie Torres Act


Burn Pits 360 is excited to announce the passing of the Le Roy and Rosie Torres Act, HB 1315, establishing the Open Burn Pit Registry Fund and creating a Burn Pits 360 Veterans Organization specialty license plate.

For years Le Roy and Rosie pushed for a Texas Burn Pit Registry in an effort to conduct outreach, track mortality data, and illnesses plaguing Veterans after toxic exposures. Texans will now have the opportunity to purchase a Burn Pits 360 vehicle license to help fund the registry.

Thank you to Ware Wendell Texas Watch for this idea and for your relentless support in making this possible. Thank you to Jesus Moreno for always working hard to support our efforts. Thank you to Texas State Rep. Abel Herrero and Senator Juan Chuy Hinojosa for this recommendation.

We will update everyone on how you can order your license plate!
