	H.R. No. 282



	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, Residents of Terrell County are gathering in Austin
	to celebrate Terrell County Day at the State Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, Located in southwestern Texas near Big Bend, Terrell
	County was established in 1905 and encompasses 2,357 square miles
	of rocky terrain that is bounded on the south by the Rio Grande and
	on the northeast by the Pecos River; this picturesque region sits on
	the Stockton Plateau, and the landscape features gently rolling
	plains and mountainous regions with dramatic canyons and valleys;
	and
	WHEREAS, After the Brown-Bassett gas field was discovered in
	1957, oil and gas exploration in the region quickly gained
	prominence; today, the petroleum industry continues to play a vital
	role in the county's economy, as do tourism, hunting leases, and
	ranching; most of the area's agricultural revenue comes from sheep
	and goats, which are valued for wool and mohair; beef and pecans are
	also important local products; and
	WHEREAS, Terrell County attracts hikers, river runners, and
	hunters with its scenic views and varied wildlife; the county seat
	of Sanderson, known as the "Cactus Capital of Texas," celebrates
	the region's unique plant life at the annual Prickly Pear Pachanga,
	and other attractions include the Terrell County Memorial Museum,
	which showcases range, railroad, and community memorabilia; and
	WHEREAS, The people of Terrell County may take great pride in
	their rich history as they work together to build an even brighter
	future, and it is indeed fitting to honor them and their unique
	region of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize Terrell County Day at the State
	Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation sincere best wishes
	for a meaningful and memorable stay in Austin.
