H.R. No. 1418
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Texas Poultry Federation and Affiliates is
celebrating the 100th anniversary of its founding in 2023,
providing a fitting opportunity to recognize the organization for
its contributions to the state's poultry industry; and
WHEREAS, The Texas Poultry Federation and Affiliates traces
its origins to 1923, when its founders, Judge Walter Burton, Fred
Glass, Mrs. Carl Hoffman, M. Johnson, Dr. J. J. Johnson, F. W.
Kazmeier, and P. E. Payne, held the first meeting of the Texas Baby
Chick Association in the Poultry Building at the State Fair of
Texas; the group's early membership included 40 hatchery
professionals, and in 1947, the organization was renamed as the
Texas Poultry Improvement Association to better reflect its service
to all members of the poultry industry; over the years, the TPIA
grew to encompass a number of affiliate groups as well, and in 1965,
all of the organizations unified to become the Texas Poultry
Federation and Affiliates; and
WHEREAS, Today, the organization's affiliates include the
Texas Allied Poultry Association, the Texas Broiler Council, the
Texas Egg Council, the Texas Poultry Improvement Association, and
the Texas Turkey Federation; the Texas Poultry Federation and
Affiliates is the only statewide organization that specifically
serves the Texas poultry industry, which contributes approximately
$3 billion to the state's economy on an annual basis; the Texas
broiler subindustry ranks fifth in the U.S., processes more than 59
million chickens per month, and produces over 4.73 billion pounds
of meat each year for the global marketplace; the egg subindustry in
Texas also ranks fifth in the nation, producing some 6.16 billion
eggs for the global marketplace annually; and
WHEREAS, Since its inception, the Texas Poultry Federation
and Affiliates has played a vital role in supporting the Texas
poultry industry, and in so doing, it has helped to strengthen the
economy of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Texas Poultry Federation and
Affiliates on its 100th anniversary and extend to all those
associated with the organization sincere best wishes for the
future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the organization as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
