Thank you all for the great feedback and advice! It looks like this project is potentially feasible but that I have many things to learn and figure out to make it happen. I'll be in touch after I've figured out how to work with the VCGI data and then get proper usage permission. Thanks again and

I personally think that the letter shouldn't be stored in the ref tags on the ways as they could be considered as an internal designation that just happens to make it onto the route shields. Maybe the letters could be added as an additional tag like ref:txdot=I 35-V? They are so small that
