          SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 185          WHEREAS, March 2, 2025, marks the 189th anniversary of the   adoption of the Texas Declaration of Independence and the day   when proud Texans proclaimed an independent republic that would   stand on its own for nearly a decade before becoming the 28th   state of the union; and          WHEREAS, The delegates of the Convention of 1836 met on   March 1 at Washington-on-the-Brazos in bitterly cold weather to   set about forging a new nation; as they gathered to issue the call   for independence, the defenders of the Alamo were preparing to   face the final assault by the troops of General Antonio López de   Santa Anna, and Texas revolutionaries had reached a critical   point in their campaign for greater political freedom; and          WHEREAS, Adopted on March 2, the Texas Declaration of   Independence listed grievances against the Mexican government   and boldly concluded with the words "that the people of Texas do   now constitute a free, Sovereign, and independent republic, and   are fully invested with all the rights and attributes which   properly belong to independent nations"; and          WHEREAS, Achieving independence on the battlefield took   another six weeks; on April 21, General Sam Houston and 900   Texian soldiers defeated Santa Anna's army at San Jacinto to   bring Mexican rule to an end and gain sovereignty for Texas; and          WHEREAS, Texas Independence Day marks one of the most   pivotal days in Texas history; celebrated annually across the   state, this day provides an opportunity for all Texans to   reflect on the freedoms they enjoy and to honor the courage and   vision of the men and women who secured independence for the   people of Texas; now, therefore, be it          RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th   Legislature, hereby commemorate Texas Independence Day 2025 and   pay tribute to the memory of those individuals who founded the   Republic of Texas.     Creighton     Alvarado Hall Middleton   Bettencourt Hancock Miles   Birdwell Hinojosa of Hidalgo Nichols   Blanco Hinojosa of Nueces Parker   Campbell Huffman Paxton   Cook Hughes Perry   Eckhardt Johnson Schwertner   Flores King Sparks   Gutierrez Kolkhorst West   Hagenbuch Menéndez Zaffirini     Patrick, President of the Senate             ________________________________          President of the Senate               I hereby certify that the     above Resolution was adopted by     the Senate on March 4, 2025.             ________________________________          Secretary of the Senate             ________________________________           Member, Texas Senate
