How can I find out the name for the roadside cross down the street from my house

Evidently this is a private marker not one placed there by the state of Texas. The easiest way to locate this is to search online for something like “fatal accident at xxx” where xxx is the street location, say something like “5th and Main.” Include the name of the city. “Fatal accident on 5’th and Main in Decatur, Texas.” Etc.

Can I leave a Cross in a cement small can for my husband that lost control of his motorcycle & passed away on contact with curb under a Freeway in Houston ?

That is actually a very good idea that gets around some of the danger of building a tribute site and also may help reduce the chance that the state or local government removes it. Sorry for you loss and may God bless you during this difficult phase. Jim Hill, webmaster
