SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 116
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	recognize the residents of Hudspeth County as they celebrate
	Hudspeth County Day at the Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, This mineral-rich county is celebrated for its
	scenic vistas, natural springs, and broad blue skies; occupying
	4,500 square miles in the Trans-Pecos region of Texas, Hudspeth
	County embodies the mythos of the American West; and
	WHEREAS, The county was formed from land in El Paso County
	in 1917 and named after State Senator Claude Benton Hudspeth; the
	area has been populated for centuries, however, and its history
	encompasses a diverse range of cultures, from prehistoric
	hunter-gatherer societies to the economically rewarding
	agricultural communities of today; and
	WHEREAS, Located in the Chihuahuan Desert, Hudspeth County
	is both strikingly rugged and agriculturally fertile; its
	farmers are famous for their pima cotton and cantaloupe crops,
	and cattle ranching is a mainstay; and
	WHEREAS, Residents of Hudspeth County enjoy recreational
	destinations such as the Guadalupe Mountains National Park and
	unique attractions like the Hudspeth County Courthouse, which is
	the only adobe courthouse in Texas; and
	WHEREAS, This picturesque corner of the Lone Star State is
	a West Texas jewel, and its people are known for their confidence
	and their pioneering spirit; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
	Legislature, hereby recognize Hudspeth County Day at the Capitol
	and extend to the residents of Hudspeth County best wishes for an
	enjoyable and productive visit to Austin; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
	honor of Hudspeth County.
