	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Proud residents of Pearsall are gathering in Austin
	on March 22, 2023, to celebrate Pearsall Day at the State Capitol;
	and
	WHEREAS, Situated in central Frio County along Interstate
	Highway 35 and the Missouri Pacific Railroad, Pearsall traces its
	origins to February 15, 1882, when the International Great Northern
	Railroad and the New York and Texas Land Company platted a town
	along newly laid tracks between Frio Town and Pleasanton; named for
	the railroad's vice president, Pearsall became the county seat of
	Frio County in 1884, and the city was officially incorporated in
	1909; and
	WHEREAS, The Pearsall area is regarded as a "hunter's
	paradise," with abundant wild game and prime hunting grounds; the
	city also boasts a wide variety of agricultural products, such as
	potatoes, watermelons, and specialty herbs; in addition, the city
	is home to the world's largest peanut monument, which commemorates
	the area's significant contributions to the peanut industry; other
	attractions in Pearsall include numerous parks and the Old Frio
	County Jail Museum; and
	WHEREAS, Residents of Pearsall benefit immeasurably from the
	Pearsall Independent School District, which encompasses Ted Flores
	Elementary, Pearsall Intermediate, Pearsall Junior High School,
	and Pearsall High School; local events, such as the Hispanic
	Heritage Festival, the City of Pearsall Christmas Celebration, and
	Homecoming Spirit Week, further add to the vibrancy of the
	community; and
	WHEREAS, The citizens of Pearsall are working to preserve the
	best of their past while building a future of expanding
	opportunity, and they may indeed take pride in the role their city
	plays in the story of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize March 22, 2023, as Pearsall Day at the
	State Capitol and extend a warm welcome to the visiting delegation.

	King of Uvalde
