H.C.R. No. 1
 
 
 
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
         WHEREAS, The Ten Commandments set forth a code of moral
  conduct that has had a significant impact on the development of the
  legal principles of western civilization; and
         WHEREAS, It is clear from their writings that our founding
  fathers believed devotedly that there was a God, and throughout
  American history all three branches of government have acknowledged
  the strong role of religion in our nation's heritage and in the
  lives of its citizens; and
         WHEREAS, Government should not now or ever demonstrate any
  hostility to observances of faith by disabling the recognition of
  our religious heritage; reflecting our history as a religious
  people, prayers, including the use of the word "God," at public
  gatherings and displays of the Ten Commandments in public
  educational institutions and other government buildings are
  acknowledgements of the continuing and important role of our
  religious tradition; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the 87th Legislature of the State of Texas
  hereby support prayers, including the use of the word "God," at
  public gatherings and displays of the Ten Commandments in public
  educational institutions and other government buildings.
