Missouri City, Texas – Texas lawmakers have passed the Lisa Torry Smith Act more than three years after the mother of two was hit by a vehicle and later died.
“If we can help to prevent this from happening to another mother who simply wants to walk her child to school then this honors my sister’s life,” Gina Torry said.
