 To rename the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge located in the State of 
       Texas as the ``Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge''.

Refuge Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
    Congress finds the following:
        (1) On June 17, 2024, 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray was brutally 
    murdered in Houston, Texas.
        (2) Two illegal aliens who were allegedly members of the Tren 
    de Aragua gang have been charged with her murder.
        (3) On March 4, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed 
    Executive Order 14229 (90 Fed. Reg. 11585; relating to honoring 
    Jocelyn Nungaray) renaming the area known as the Anahuac National 
    Wildlife Refuge to ``Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge''.
        (4) Ms. Nungaray loved animals and, given the close proximity 
    of her hometown of Houston, it is fitting that the Anahuac National 
    Wildlife Refuge be renamed in her honor.

State of Texas shall be known as the ``Jocelyn Nungaray National
