| WHEREAS, Residents of Live Oak County are gathering in | ||
| Austin on April 15, 2013, to share their justifiable pride in | ||
| their unique part of the Lone Star State; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In the years before the land became part of Texas, | ||
| the area now known as Live Oak County was home to Native American | ||
| tribes, Spanish and Mexican colonists, and Irish immigrants, and | ||
| this rich cultural diversity has greatly influenced the | ||
| development of the area; and | ||
| WHEREAS, | ||
| WHEREAS, The rugged beauty of Live Oak County's brushy | ||
| plains is complemented by the Frio, Nueces, and Atascosa Rivers, | ||
| and admirers of the Texas landscape are drawn to such attractions | ||
| as Lake Corpus Christi and Choke Canyon State Park; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Area revenue originally came from sheep, cattle, | ||
| and cotton, but later was diversified by the discovery of oil and | ||
| natural gas in the county in the 1930s and by the discovery of | ||
| uranium in the 1960s; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In addition to George West, the county seat, the | ||
| communities located in Live Oak County include Three Rivers, | ||
| Dinero, Lagarto, Oakville, Pernitas Point, and Whitsett, and | ||
| residents of these towns join in honoring their distinctive part | ||
| of Texas; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
| Legislature, hereby recognize April 15, 2013, as Live Oak County | ||
| Day at the State Capitol and extend to all those associated with | ||
| this event best wishes for a meaningful and memorable day; and, | ||
| be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
| honor of this occasion. | ||
