HCR 95 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Designating Mineola as the official Sweets Capital of Texas for a 10-year period ending in 2035, replacing the city's previous designation as the City of Festivals.

This concurrent resolution designates Mineola as Texas' official "Sweets Capital" for a 10-year period ending in 2035, replacing its prior designation as the "City of Festivals" established in 1991. It formally recognizes Mineola's downtown area for its concentration of locally owned sweets shops (like Grandma Cleda's Gourmet Candy and Mineola Fudge Shop) and their role in community culture. The resolution has no financial or regulatory impact - it is purely ceremonial, as stated in Section 391.003(e) of the Texas Government Code, and expires automatically in 2035.
