Wells Jr.; the county contributed   significantly to the development of southwestern Texas, and   since the mid-1800s, its cattle industry has played a key role in   the area's economy; and          WHEREAS, The first significant oil activity in Jim Wells   County began in 1936, and the first regional major oil producer   was established northeast of Alice; the county's economy has   benefited from the oil business, ranching, cattle shipping, and   cotton and grain production, in addition to a thriving public   school system, a modern hospital, and the health services   industry; and          WHEREAS, The history of Jim Wells County is dutifully   preserved at the South Texas Museum, which has been designated a   Texas Historic Landmark; it is indeed fitting that the citizens   of Jim Wells County take pride in their unique heritage as they   celebrate their many contributions to the Lone Star State; now,   therefore, be it          RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th   Legislature, hereby recognize March 6, 2025, as Jim Wells County   Day at the Capitol and extend to the county's visiting delegates   best wishes for a memorable and productive visit to Austin; and,   be it further          RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in   honor of this special occasion.     Hinojosa of Hidalgo                 ________________________________          President of the Senate               I hereby certify that the     above Resolution was adopted by     the Senate on March 6, 2025.                 ________________________________          Secretary of the Senate                 ________________________________           Member, Texas Senate
