In memory of legendary accordionist Flaco Jiménez.
HR 46 is a commemorative resolution honoring Flaco Jiménez, a legendary San Antonio accordionist and Tex-Mex music icon who died in 2025. The resolution, adopted by the Texas House of Representatives, pays tribute to his life, musical contributions (including Grammy wins and collaborations with artists like Bob Dylan and Los Lobos), and community impact. It extends sympathy to his family and directs the House to formally recognize his legacy upon adjournment. This is a symbolic gesture with no policy or financial impact, as it is a memorial resolution, not a legislative bill.
