H.R. No. 66

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Members of the Deer Park Chamber of Commerce are
	visiting the State Capitol on January 25, 2023, providing a welcome
	opportunity to pay tribute to this outstanding organization and the
	city it serves; and
	WHEREAS, Located in southeast Harris County, the area was
	first settled in 1892 by farmer and former Illinois legislator
	Simeon Henry West, and it was named for the abundant deer that
	roamed the Gulf region during that time; in 1893, Mr. West built a
	hotel and post office, and a railway station was established soon
	after; and
	WHEREAS, Deer Park was incorporated in 1948; in the
	subsequent decades, the city saw significant growth, and today, it
	is home to more than 33,000 residents; education is a key element in
	the city's productivity, and in conjunction with the surrounding
	communities, Deer Park has supported San Jacinto College since its
	opening in 1961; and
	WHEREAS, Visitors and residents alike enjoy a range of
	recreational opportunities, including a community theater and
	numerous parks; the city also offers such historical attractions as
	Patrick's Cabin, the site at which the initial treaty papers were
	drafted following the 1836 Battle of San Jacinto, where Texas
	secured its independence from Mexico; and
	WHEREAS, Under the exceptional leadership of president Paula
	Moorhaj, chair Ross Winkler, and the other board members, the Deer
	Park Chamber of Commerce is a strong agent promoting economic
	vitality and quality of life in the region; it boasts numerous
	committees that are designed to provide its members with key
	business opportunities and improve the overall standard of living
	in Deer Park, and it works daily to promote community development;
	and
	WHEREAS, The Deer Park Chamber of Commerce has played an
	important role in enhancing the community's economic vitality and
	quality of life, and all those associated with the organization may
	take pride in their contributions to the area's prosperity; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize January 25, 2023, as Deer Park Chamber
	of Commerce Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm welcome to
	the visiting delegation.
