         WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to
  join the citizens of Kinney County and Texans across the state in
  celebrating Kinney County Day; and
         WHEREAS, Located west of San Antonio in the Rio Grande Plains
  region, Kinney County was formed by an Act of the Texas Legislature
  in 1850 and is named for early settler and adventurer Henry Lawrence
  Kinney; and
         WHEREAS, The United States Army established Fort Riley, later
  called Fort Clark, along Las Moras Creek in 1852, and the community
  of Brackett, named for local merchant Oscar B. Brackett, was begun
  that same year; now called Brackettville, it is the county's seat
  and largest city; and
         WHEREAS, Through the years, cattle ranching has dominated the
  county's economy, with wool and mohair production playing an
  important part in the nation's war effort during World War II;
  tourists are drawn to the area by such attractions as Kickapoo
  Cavern State Park, Alamo Village, Las Moras Park, and Fort Clark;
  and
         WHEREAS, The citizens of Kinney County are confidently facing
  the future while continuing to embrace their rich and colorful
  past; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Texas House of Representatives, 83rd
  Legislature, hereby commend the people of Kinney County on their
  many contributions to our state's growth and prosperity and extend
  to them best wishes for a memorable Kinney County Day; and, be it
  further
         RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be prepared in honor
  of this special day.
