SR 85 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Recognizing the evolving partnership between the State of Texas and the United Kingdom.

This is a ceremonial Senate resolution (SR 85), not a bill with policy changes. It formally recognizes the historical and current partnership between Texas and the United Kingdom, citing shared history (including Texas Republic-era diplomacy), strong economic ties (UK as top foreign investor in Texas), and recent cooperation agreements like the 2023 Statement of Mutual Cooperation. The resolution commends efforts to strengthen this relationship and celebrates the UK delegation's visit to the Texas Capitol in February 2025. As a symbolic gesture, it has no legal effect or policy impact.
