Honoring the first responders, government officials, volunteers, and donors who have assisted in the recovery from the May 2025 tornado in Gordon.

HR 161 is a ceremonial resolution honoring individuals and groups who assisted Gordon, Texas, following a May 2025 tornado. It specifically recognizes first responders (including Chief Arthur James and the Gordon Volunteer Fire Department), government officials (like Mayor Sherrye Mills and Gordon ISD Superintendent Holly Campbell), volunteers, local businesses, schools, and donors who contributed to recovery efforts after the EF-1 tornado damaged 31 homes, flooded schools, and destroyed facilities. The resolution expresses formal gratitude for their "invaluable assistance" but does not create new laws or funding. As a symbolic gesture, it was adopted by the House on September 3, 2025.
