                    HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
      WHEREAS, Throughout its history, the city of Weslaco has been
justly renowned for its friendly people, thriving economy, and
acclaimed scientific community; and
      WHEREAS, Nestled in the heart of one of the nation's great
citrus-producing regions, Weslaco is also home to the Texas A&M
University--Kingsville Citrus Center (formerly Texas A&I University
Citrus Center) and Texas A&M University Agricultural Research and
Extension Center, where the Official State Fruit of Texas, the Red
Grapefruit, was nurtured and perfected; and
      WHEREAS, Citrus fruits such as grapefruits and oranges are a
boon to the state economy, generating more revenue than any other
tree fruit produced within our borders; and
      WHEREAS, Nutritious as well as tasty, citrus fruits contain
no fat or sodium, boost iron absorption, and are low in calories
and rich in Vitamin C; and
      WHEREAS, Weslaco's scientific community continues to enhance
the richness and flavor of these valued agricultural commodities,
and citrus fruits will undoubtedly make further contributions to
the Lone Star State's economy and culture; now, therefore, be it
      RESOLVED, That the 75th Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby designate the City of Weslaco as the Citrus Capital of
Texas.
