R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to pay 
tribute to the cities of Eden, San Augustine, Yoakum, Fort 
Stockton, Claude, Brownwood, Quitaque, Rio Grande, White Deer, and 
Post, which have been designated 2005 Texas Yes! Hardworking Rural 
Communities by the Texas Department of Agriculture; and
	WHEREAS, The Texas Yes! project was established by the 
department to promote the growth and prosperity of every rural 
Texas town, city, and county and is similar to the department's GO 
TEXAN marketing campaign; and
	WHEREAS, Each community is self-nominated and evaluated by 
the Texas Yes! Advisory Board, an independent panel composed of 
leaders in the arts, media, education, and tourism from throughout 
the state; in determining a community's eligibility, the panel 
assesses its program for rural development as it relates to 
tourism, planning, community involvement, economic progress, and 
education, among other criteria; and
	WHEREAS, The Texas Yes! awards spotlight the exciting 
developments taking place in rural communities across Texas and 
encourages these communities to share and promote successful ideas; 
the 10 cities that have been selected for the 2005 Texas Yes! award 
are proven hardworking rural communities, and they are indeed 
deserving of legislative recognition for their achievements; now, 
therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby commend the citizens of Eden, San Augustine, 
Yoakum, Fort Stockton, Claude, Brownwood, Quitaque, Rio Grande, 
White Deer, and Post for their outstanding work in developing and 
promoting their communities and congratulate them on their 
designation as Texas Yes! Hardworking Rural Communities; and, be it 
further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for these communities as an expression of esteem by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
