HCR 81 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Designating Milam as the official Gateway Capital of Texas for a 10-year period ending in 2035.

This legislative resolution designates the town of Milam, Texas, as the "official Gateway Capital of Texas" for a 10-year period ending in 2035. It does not create new laws or alter government functions but formally recognizes Milam's historical significance as a key travel and settlement hub along routes like El Camino Real de los Tejas. The designation, which expires in 2035, is purely symbolic and aligns with Section 391.003(e) of the Texas Government Code. No direct policy changes or funding impacts affect Milam or other entities through this resolution.
