SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 79
WHEREAS, Members of the Texas High School Rodeo
Association (THSRA) are visiting the State Capitol today, and
the visit provides a fitting opportunity to honor this notable
organization; and

promotes education and athleticism in Texas' youth, while
working to instill in participants the values of leadership,
personal responsibility, and commitment; and

region compete for numerous awards and scholarships as well as an
opportunity to represent the Lone Star State at the National High
School Finals Rodeo held in July; and
WHEREAS, The American cowboy has captured the imagination
of the world for more than a century, and it is indeed appropriate
to commend those young people who participate in this proud
tradition; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 79th Texas Legislature
hereby welcome the members of the Texas High School Rodeo
Association and recognize February 7, 2005, as THSRA Day at the
