  H.R. No. 79
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Residents of Jim Wells County are assembling at the
  State Capitol on February 19, 2019, to celebrate the importance of
  their home to the history of the State of Texas; and
         WHEREAS, A landscape of sweeping grasslands and wide
  horizons, the county's early inhabitants enjoyed the region's mild
  winters and abundant game; after the first European settlement in
  1754, at Penitas Creek, Mexican ranchers developed land grants into
  sheep and cattle ranches; in 1848 the region became part of the
  State of Texas, and it was formally incorporated as a county in 1911
  and named after the prominent developer and attorney James B. Wells
  Jr.; and
         WHEREAS, With the arrival of the railroad in the 1870s, Alice
  became the most important livestock shipment junction in South
  Texas, and ranching has remained a mainstay of the county's economy
  ever since; cotton and sorghum are important crops, as are hay,
  corn, and wheat; since the discovery of oil in the area in 1931, the
  county has become one of the state's leaders in oil production; and
         WHEREAS, Notable communities in Jim Wells County include
  Orange Grove, Ben Bolt-Palito Blanco, Premont, Sandia, and La
  Gloria; the county seat, Alice is a center for health care, with an
  outstanding medical facility, the CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital Alice;
  the Tejano R.O.O.T.S. Hall of Fame in Alice honors Tejano culture
  and recognizes the region as the birthplace of this popular musical
  genre; area culture is further showcased at the South Texas Museum,
  housed in the historic McGill Brothers Building, and the annual
  Fiesta Bandana, celebrating Cinco de Mayo, is a highlight of the
  county's cultural calendar; and
         WHEREAS, Celebrating their vibrant heritage as they embrace
  the opportunities of the future, the citizens of Jim Wells County
  are building on a long tradition of industry, achievement, and
  public spirit, and they are indeed deserving of special
  recognition; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize February 19, 2019, as Jim Wells County
  Day at the State Capitol and extend to its residents sincere best
  wishes for a meaningful and memorable visit to Austin.
