  national program established by the Small Business Development
  Center Act of 1979, which was first introduced in the U.S. Senate in
  March 1977 before its passage two years later; since its inception,
  America's SBDC has grown to include approximately 1,000 service
  centers and more than 5,000 professional business advisors who

  affordable training to guide small businesses through every stage
  of development; in 2024, the organization helped businesses access
  over $421 million in financing; moreover, it is estimated that the
  network's efforts in the past year saved or created more than 33,000
  jobs, and companies affiliated with the organization generated
  approximately $703 million in new sales and over $81 million in tax
  revenue; and
         WHEREAS, The Texas SBDC Network has contributed immeasurably
  to the success of numerous new and existing companies, and in so
  doing, it has greatly enhanced the economic prosperity of the Lone
  Star State; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize March 19, 2025, as Texas Small
  Business Development Center Day and extend to all those associated
  with the Texas Small Business Development Center Network sincere
  best wishes for a memorable and enjoyable celebration; and, be it
  further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for the Texas SBDC Network as an expression of high regard
  by the Texas House of Representatives.
