SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 61
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
join the citizens of Brownsville and Texans across the state in
celebrating January 28, 2015, as Brownsville Day at the State
Capitol; and
WHEREAS, Brownsville is the largest city in the lower Rio
Grande Valley and is the seat of Cameron County; the southernmost
city in the state, Brownsville was chartered in 1848 and was
named in honor of Major Jacob Brown, who died in action in the
lead-in to the Mexican War; and
WHEREAS, Brownsville is a center for both the cultural
heritage of the United States and that of Mexico; each year,
centuries of history and tradition are celebrated at a wide array
of festivals and events; the celebrations bring the two cultures
together in a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect; and
WHEREAS, Members of the Brownsville community developed
the Imagine Brownsville Comprehensive Plan in order to implement
a bold vision for the future that builds on the strengths of the
people and the region's unique economic assets; it is truly
fitting that a day be set aside to celebrate this vibrant
community's many amenities; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
Legislature, hereby commend the citizens of Brownsville on their
valuable contributions to the growth and prosperity of our state
and extend to them best wishes for a memorable Brownsville Day at
the State Capitol; and, be it further
