Requesting the Lieutenant Governor and the Speaker of the House of Representatives to create a joint interim committee to study the development of a cruise industry on the Texas coast between Calhoun and Cameron Counties.

HCR 63 is a concurrent resolution requesting the Lieutenant Governor and House Speaker to form a temporary joint committee to study developing a cruise industry along Texas' coast between Calhoun and Cameron Counties. The committee would examine the economic potential of establishing new cruise ports in this region, including job creation and revenue impacts, and evaluate incentives to attract cruise lines. It does not create new laws but directs a study to inform future legislative decisions. The committee must submit findings and recommendations to the 90th Legislature by January 2027. This resolution directly affects South Texas coastal communities and the state's tourism and economic development strategy.
