R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, Members of the Recording Academy Texas Chapter are
  visiting Austin on February 26, 2019, to celebrate Grammy Texas
  Music Advocacy Day at the State Capitol; and
         WHEREAS, The birthplace of Texas country, Tejano, and other
  distinctive styles, the Lone Star State has a history of producing
  music in a vast range of genres, and such talented artists as
  Beyoncé, Gary Clark Jr., Flaco Jimenez, George Strait, and Willie
  Nelson have all called Texas home; and
         WHEREAS, To serve the state's vibrant music community, the
  Recording Academy, the organization responsible for the Grammy
  Awards, established a Texas chapter in 1998; at the 61st Annual
  Grammy Awards in 2019, music professionals from Texas received 48
  nominations and won 12 awards, including Album of the Year by Golden
  native Kacey Musgraves; and
         WHEREAS, An integral part of the Texas economy, the music
  industry is tied to more than 160,000 jobs throughout the state, and
  each year, live music festivals generate hundreds of millions of
  dollars in economic activity; as a reflection of its support for
  this important commercial sector, the Texas Legislature created the
  Texas Music Office, which opened its doors in 1990; and
         WHEREAS, The innovative musicians of the Lone Star State are
  furthering an exceptional legacy of artistic achievement, and in so
  doing, they are making a notable contribution to the culture and
  economy of Texas; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize February 26, 2019, as Grammy Texas
  Music Advocacy Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm welcome to
  the visiting members of the Recording Academy Texas Chapter.
