H.R. No. 1199

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Representatives from the City of San Marcos, the San
	Marcos Area Chamber of Commerce, and other community businesses and
	organizations are gathering in Austin on April 25, 2019, to
	celebrate San Marcos Day at the State Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, Situated in the Black Prairie region at the edge of
	the Edwards Plateau, the region around San Marcos has been a
	watering place for wildlife and people for thousands of years;
	there is evidence that Clovis Man lived near the headwaters of the
	river more than 12,000 years ago, and the area around the San Marcos
	Springs shows the presence of Paleo-Indians 8,000 years ago; and
	WHEREAS, The Spanish established two short-lived colonies,
	the San Xavier Mission in 1755 and the civil settlement of San
	Marcos de Neve in 1808, and the first Anglo-Americans settled in the
	area in 1846; on March 1, 1848, the Texas Legislature organized Hays
	County, designating the young community of San Marcos as the county
	seat, and the town quickly became a commercial center for area
	farmers and ranchers; and
	WHEREAS, The opening of Southwest Texas State Normal School
	in 1903 and the San Marcos Baptist Academy in 1907 made San Marcos a
	regional hub for education, and during the 1960s, tourism became
	important to the economy as thousands of visitors were drawn to
	Aquarena Springs and Wonder Cave; and
	WHEREAS, Today, San Marcos is home to Texas State University,
	the fourth-largest university in the state; visitors and residents
	alike delight in the natural beauty of the San Marcos River, the
	Meadows Center, acres of parkland, and the quaint local shops in the
	city's charming and historic downtown square; visitors are also
	drawn by the concerts at the Performing Arts Center at TSU and by
	regular community events and festivals such as the Sunday San
	Market, the Central Texas Farmers Co-op, the Downtown Swing
	festival, and the Mutt Strutt; and
	WHEREAS, Building on an impressive tradition of achievement
	and public spirit, the citizens of San Marcos may indeed take great
	pride in their contributions to the story of the Lone Star State;
	now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize April 25, 2019, as San Marcos Day at
	the State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation sincere
	best wishes for a meaningful and memorable visit to the State
	Capitol.
