SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 372
         WHEREAS, Representatives of the City of Castroville are
  gathering in Austin on April 4, 2023, to celebrate Castroville
  Legislative Day at the State Capitol; and
         WHEREAS, Castroville is located along U.S. Highway 90,
  just 20 minutes west of San Antonio; the city was established by a
  group of mainly Alsatian immigrants led by the empresario Henri
  Castro in 1844, and the prominent role the immigrants played in
  building the community went on to lend it the moniker the "Little
  Alsace of Texas"; it served as the county seat of Medina County
  until 1893; and
         WHEREAS, Today, Castroville is home to around 3,000
  residents who enjoy its small-town atmosphere and historic
  character, along with the benefits of living in close proximity
  to San Antonio; the City of Castroville is a proud partner of the
  Medina Valley Independent School District and its public
  education system, which was awarded an "A," the state's highest
  accountability rating; the community continues to celebrate its
  heritage with the Alsatian Festival of Texas, in addition to
  hosting other highly anticipated events such as the Tour de
  Castroville, the Old-Fashioned 4th of July Weekend, and
  Old-Fashioned Christmas; and
         WHEREAS, The citizens of Castroville are honoring their rich
  history as they embrace the opportunities of the future, and they
  may indeed take pride in the unique contributions their city has
  made to the story of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
  Legislature, hereby recognize April 4, 2023, as Castroville
  Legislative Day at the State Capitol and extend sincere
  congratulations to the mayor, city council, city administrator,
  and citizens of Castroville who have been instrumental to the
  growth and success of this fine community.
