H.R. No. 589

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Proud residents of Kinney County are gathering in
	Austin on February 22, 2017, to celebrate Kinney County Day at the
	State Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, Located west of San Antonio in the Rio Grande Plains
	region, Kinney County was created in 1850 and named for early
	settler and adventurer Henry Lawrence Kinney; the United States
	Army established Fort Riley, later known as Fort Clark, along Las
	Moras Creek in 1852, and the community of Brackett was formed later
	that same year; by 1876, the final boundaries of the county had been
	set by the Texas Legislature, and the renamed town of Brackettville
	was designated as the county seat; and
	WHEREAS, Through the years, cattle ranching has dominated the
	economy of Kinney County, and wool and mohair production played an
	important part in the nation's efforts during World War II; and
	WHEREAS, Today, tourists are drawn to the county by such
	attractions as Kickapoo Cavern State Park and Fort Clark Springs, a
	community that provides visitors and residents alike with
	opportunities for camping, swimming, and tours of the Old
	Guardhouse Museum; and
	WHEREAS, The people of Kinney County are confidently facing
	the future while continuing to embrace their vibrant heritage, and
	it is indeed fitting to honor their contributions to the story of
	the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize February 22, 2017, as Kinney County
	Day at the State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation
	sincere best wishes for an informative and enjoyable stay in
	Austin.
