Recognizing the 10-mile coastal zone off the gulf coast that Texas has sovereignty over as the "Gulf of Texas."

This concurrent resolution (SCR 45) is a symbolic request by the Texas Legislature to rename a 10-mile coastal zone off the Gulf Coast as the "Gulf of Texas," which Texas already claims under its sovereignty. It does not change legal boundaries or affect any laws, people, or policies. The resolution formally asks Congress to adopt this name and requests that the Texas secretary of state submit copies to the U.S. Congress as a memorial. As a procedural resolution, it has no binding effect and is solely intended to promote the proposed name.
