      H.R. No. 758       R E S O L U T I O N          WHEREAS, Proud residents of McMullen County are gathering in   Austin to celebrate McMullen County Day at the State Capitol on   April 22, 2025; and          WHEREAS, Located in the center of South Texas, McMullen   County is made up of more than 1,000 square miles of flat and   rolling brushland; artifacts discovered in the county indicate that   human settlement may date back as far as 11,000 years, with groups   of hunter-gatherers in the area until the 1700s; and          WHEREAS, Several Spanish expeditions passed through the area   in the 17th and 18th centuries, but the population was sparse until   shortly before the Civil War, when settlers began to move in to take   advantage of the grasslands where wild mustangs and cattle could be   found; and          WHEREAS, The county was established in 1858, and a group of   resourceful adventurers settled where the Leoncita Creek flowed   into the Rio Frio; the town was first called Rio Frio, then Dog   Town, and finally Tilden, after Samuel J. Tilden, the unsuccessful   Democratic candidate for president in 1876; the town eventually   became the county seat; and          WHEREAS, Cattle and sheep ranching have dominated the   county's economy, though oil and gas have grown in importance since   the 1930s, and the region is also a destination for hunters; and          WHEREAS, McMullen County residents are stewards of an area   with a fascinating history and culture, and their unique county   indeed merits special recognition; now, therefore, be it          RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas   Legislature hereby recognize April 22, 2025, as McMullen County Day   at the State Capitol and extend a warm welcome to the visiting   delegation.     Guillen     ______________________________   Speaker of the House                 I certify that H.R.
