H.R. No. 190
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Proud residents of Maverick County are gathering in
Austin on February 7 and 8, 2023, to celebrate Maverick County and
Eagle Pass Days at the State Capitol; and
WHEREAS, Located in Southwest Texas, Maverick County was
formed in 1856 and named for cattleman and state legislator Samuel
Augustus Maverick; the county was formally organized 15 years
later, and the county seat, Eagle Pass, was established on the Rio
Grande, beginning its role as a center for travel and trade along
the Texas-Mexico border; the city was originally named El Paso del
Aguila because of the frequent flights of Mexican eagles over the
area; and
WHEREAS, Over the years, city and county officials have
demonstrated an ongoing commitment to working together to create
jobs, encourage young people, and improve the quality of life in
their region of the state; civic leaders are also dedicated to the
effective collaboration of the public and private sectors and to
the administration of an economic development plan that will
attract and retain business, industry, and trade while increasing
affordable housing; the area's educational opportunities are
furthered by the offerings of Southwest Texas Junior College and
Sul Ross State University Rio Grande College, and plans are
underway to establish a comprehensive, four-year university in
Eagle Pass affiliated with SRSU and the Texas State University
System; and
WHEREAS, With three international bridges, including a rail
bridge, Eagle Pass and Maverick County have become an important
port of entry for international commerce; in 2021, the Port of Eagle
Pass handled a record $33.82 billion in exports and imports, making
it the eighth busiest border crossing in the U.S.; additionally,
the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas provides a significant
source of jobs, revenue, and tourism; visitors to the region can
also learn about area history at Fort Duncan Park and San Juan Plaza
and enjoy outdoor recreation at Maverick County Lake; moreover,
they can stroll the streets of historic downtown Eagle Pass, which
has been designated as a Texas Main Street City by the Texas
Historical Commission; and
WHEREAS, Even as they celebrate their rich heritage, the
hardworking people of Maverick County and Eagle Pass are looking
ahead to the opportunities of the future, and they may reflect with
pride on their contributions to the story of the Lone Star State;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize February 7 and 8, 2023, as Maverick
County and Eagle Pass Days at the State Capitol and extend to the
visiting delegation sincere best wishes for an informative and
enjoyable stay in Austin.
