WHEREAS, Proud representatives of the Fenoglio Boot Company
are gathering in Austin on February 18 to 20, 2025, in celebration
of Fenoglio Boot Company Day at the State Capitol; and
WHEREAS, In 1886, the Fenoglio family settled in Nocona, a
frequent stop for cowboys driving cattle along the Chisholm Trail;
after the founder of the famous Nocona Boot Company, Enid Justin,
passed away in 1990, the Fenoglio Boot Company was established,
keeping alive the town's tradition of manufacturing leather goods;
and
WHEREAS, Today, the business sources a wide array of leathers
from around the world to create its boots, which feature
all-leather outsoles and insoles, stacked leather heels, and wood
peg construction; skilled employees, some with decades of
experience, craft the boots by hand in Texas; and
WHEREAS, Honoring its heritage as it embraces the
opportunities of the future, the Fenoglio Boot Company has played
an important role in enhancing its community's economic vitality,
and all those associated with the business may take pride in their
contributions to the area; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize February 18 to 20, 2025, as Fenoglio
Boot Company Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm welcome to
the visiting delegation; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the business as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
