George Floyd s family stood in front of the Texas Capitol on Saturday and called on state lawmakers to pass legislation named after him.
Floyd was a Black man with Houston roots who died last year during an arrest in Minneapolis that was caught on a bystander s video that went viral. Derek Chauvin, the police officer who had pinned his knee on Floyd s neck for nearly nine minutes, is currently on trial, where he faces murder and manslaughter charges.
The George Floyd Act awaiting action in the Texas Legislature is a Democratic-led, sweeping police reform measure filed in the wake of nationwide protests that erupted last summer over Floyd s death and other cases of police brutality.

Diana Martinez Rangel was the epitome of strength, resilience and kindness to her family. She d learned to navigate the world without her hearing, raised six children, persevered through multiple heart attacks and stuck to a strict dialysis regimen for the past seven years.
Inside her Manor home, weeks after the mid-February winter storm, her son Miguel Rangel said he was still in shock that she had died.
“It just hurts because she wasn’t supposed to go this way,” Rangel said.
In stage 4 kidney failure, Martinez Rangel needed dialysis treatments three times a week. After the freeze left millions across the state without electricity or water, the dialysis center she depended on had to shutter. The day before they reopened, she died.
