HR 106

H.R. No. 106
  R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Many proud citizens of Dimmit County are visiting
  Austin on January 28, 2025, to celebrate Dimmit County Day at the
  State Capitol; and
         WHEREAS, Dimmit County was named after Philip Dimmitt, one of
  the framers of the Goliad Declaration of Independence; founded in
  1858, the county's first permanent community was established seven
  years later when a group of 15 families, led by Levi English,
  settled at Carrizo Springs, which became the county seat in 1880;
  the area flourished, and by 1890, the county was home to nearly 100
  farms and ranches, averaging over 4,000 acres in size; and
         WHEREAS, In the first decades of the 20th century, the use of
  underground water facilitated the introduction of commercial
  agriculture, bringing new settlers and soaring land values; the
  long growing season and new irrigation methods combined to make the
  county one of the most prolific vegetable-growing areas in the
  country, and it gained recognition as part of the Texas Winter
  Garden Region; and
         WHEREAS, Drought and the Great Depression took a toll on
  agriculture in the county in subsequent years, but vegetable
  farming rebounded following World War II; later, ranching regained
  dominance in the economy, and oil and gas production became
  increasingly important; the area continues to be known for its
  abundance of mineral resources, and investment in the Eagle Ford
  Shale has brought rapid development and a rush of newcomers; and
         WHEREAS, Today, Dimmit County is home to nearly 9,000 people;
  residents and visitors alike enjoy outdoor activities such as
  hunting at the Chaparral Wildlife Management Area and fishing at
  local lakes, and the county boasts many historic landmarks,
  including the El Camino Real highway and the original First Baptist
  Church of Carrizo Springs; and
         WHEREAS, The people of Dimmit County take great pride in
  their rich history as they work together to build an even brighter
  future, and it is indeed fitting that they be honored for their
  contributions to the story of the Lone Star State; now, therefore,
  be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize January 28, 2025, as Dimmit County Day
  at the State Capitol and extend a warm welcome to the visiting
  delegation.
