HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Wait times at points of entry between the United
States and the United Mexican States are considerable; and
WHEREAS, Wait times result in a reduction in commercial and
economic activity; and
WHEREAS, Wait times produce a significant increase of
negative environmental impacts in the state; and
WHEREAS, Although Texas is a leader in trade relations in the
international marketplace, eradication of wait times at points of
entry would tremendously benefit the state, and every means of
combating it should be explored; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the 83rd Legislature of the State of Texas,
hereby request the lieutenant governor and the speaker of the house
of representatives to create a joint interim committee to study the
effects on international trade on wait times at points of entry
between the United States and the United Mexican States; and be it
further
RESOLVED, That the committee submit a full report including
findings and recommendations, to the 84th Texas Legislature when it
convenes in January, 2015.
