  recognize the residents of Hudspeth County as they celebrate
  Hudspeth County Day at the Capitol; and

  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
