Designating May as Muslim Heritage Month for a 10-year period ending in 2035.
HCR 18 is a symbolic concurrent resolution designating May as "Muslim Heritage Month" in Texas for a 10-year period ending in 2035. It recognizes Texas' Muslim American community, which includes an estimated 500,000 residents and 330+ mosques, for their contributions to fields like healthcare, education, and civic service. The resolution has no legal effect beyond formal recognition and remains in place until the 10th anniversary of its passage, as specified under Texas Government Code §391.004(d). It does not create new laws, funding, or obligations.
