	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 53
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	join the citizens of Uvalde County and Texans across the state in
	celebrating March 6, 2013, as Uvalde County Day at the State
	Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, Created by the Texas Legislature in the mid-1850s
	out of territory from Bexar County, Uvalde County was named for
	the Spanish governor of Coahuila, Juan de Ugalde, who had led
	troops to a decisive victory over Apache warriors in 1790; and
	WHEREAS, The City of Uvalde is the county seat; founded by
	Reading W. Black in the 1850s, it is known for its four public
	plazas and its picturesque architecture; and
	WHEREAS, Uvalde County was home to Garner Army Air Field
	during World War II; the former airfield is now the site of
	Southwest Texas Junior College; and
	WHEREAS, Known as the County of 1,000 Springs, Uvalde
	County is also a center for wool and mohair production, and its
	agricultural output plays a major role in the county's economy;
	and
	WHEREAS, The citizens of Uvalde County are justly proud of
	its long and distinguished history and the many achievements its
	citizens have made to further the growth and progress of our
	state; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
	Legislature, hereby commend the citizens of Uvalde County on
	their many contributions to our state and extend to them a
	heartfelt welcome to Austin for Uvalde County Day at the State
	Capitol; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
	honor of this special day.

	Uresti
