Senate Resolution 225 recognizes Michael T. Puckett for his retirement as the executive director of Charro Days, Incorporated. This resolution highlights Mr. Puckett's long-standing commitment to the Charro Days festival, which celebrates the cultural ties between Brownsville, Texas, and Matamoros, Mexico.
