Expressing support for renaming the New York strip steak as the Texas strip steak and directing the Texas Department of Agriculture to promote the Texas strip steak as part of efforts to support Texas beef and agricultural products.

This symbolic resolution (SCR 46) expresses the Texas Legislature's support for renaming the "New York strip steak" to the "Texas strip steak" and directs the Texas Department of Agriculture to promote this name change. It aims to highlight Texas' status as the nation's top beef producer (with over 12.2 million cattle) and its historical role in the cattle industry. The resolution does not legally change the steak's name but encourages restaurants and food establishments to adopt the new designation as part of promoting Texas beef. It serves as a promotional tool to strengthen the state's agricultural branding and economic identity.
