	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to 
recognize the citizens of Hood County and to proclaim 
April 1, 2003, as Hood County Day at the State Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, Hood County was established in 1866 and was 
named for John Bell Hood, a Texas patriot and lieutenant general 
in the Confederate Army; and
	WHEREAS, Hood County is traversed by the Paluxy and Brazos 
rivers and is home to Lake Granbury; it is therefore an excellent

pecans, and peanuts are its major crops; and
	WHEREAS, Granbury, the county seat, was founded in 1854; 
the Granbury Opera House, which dates back to the 1880s, and the

the downtown area; residents proudly display the city's many 
cultural riches during the annual December candlelight tour, 
which includes such historic homes as Captain's House Bed and 
Breakfast, the Iron Horse Inn, the Dabney House, and the 
Pearl Street Inn; and
	WHEREAS, The county is proud to have gained recognition 
for its preservation of the area's rich history; Granbury's town 
square is on the National Register of Historic Places list and 
was selected as "The Best Town Square in Texas" by readers of 
Texas Highways magazine; and

	WHEREAS, The people of Hood County are industrious and 
innovative Texans who have made the region an excellent area in 
which to live and visit, and they deserve recognition for their 
contribution to our state; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
