HCR 84 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

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

HCR 84 designates Pineland, Texas, as the official "Sawmill Capital of Texas" for a 10-year period ending in 2035. This symbolic resolution recognizes Pineland's historical and ongoing role in the state's lumber industry, citing its century-long connection to sawmills dating back to 1902. The designation, which requires no new funding or regulations, will remain in effect until the 10th anniversary of the resolution's passage under Texas Government Code Section 391.003(e). It does not create new legal obligations or affect any residents, businesses, or policies.
