               SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 63
            
                   WHEREAS, The prosperity of the Lone Star State has been 
         
            greatly influenced by family farming and ranching, and Betty Royal 
         
            Rackley of Atascosa County has been officially recognized as heir 
         
            to this proud tradition with the acceptance of the Old Fuller Place 
         
            into the state's Family Land Heritage Program in 2023; and
         
                   WHEREAS, Sponsored by the Texas Department of Agriculture, 
         
            this program honors farms and ranches that have been in 
         
            continuous agricultural operation by the same family for a 
         
            century or more; and
         
                   WHEREAS, William Barton Fuller moved to Atascosa County 
         
            with his parents, John S. and Rebecca Fuller, and he grew up in a 
         
            pioneer home centered around a life of ranching; in 1900, he 
         
            acquired 191 acres of land from the Jose Peche original tract, 
         
            where he raised cattle; he later passed the ranch down to his son, 
         
            Guy Fuller, who in turn transferred ownership to his nephew, Ned 
         
            Royal; today, the Old Fuller Place is owned by Betty Royal 
         
            Rackley, the great-granddaughter of the founder, and it 
         
            continues to produce beef cattle; and
         
                   WHEREAS, In preserving her property as a working ranch, 
         
            Betty Rackley is making her own contribution to her family's 
         
            legacy, and it is indeed fitting that she be honored for her 
         
            outstanding stewardship; now, therefore, be it
         
                   RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th 
         
            Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby congratulate Betty Royal 
         
            Rackley on the induction of the Old Fuller Place into the Texas 
         
            Department of Agriculture Family Land Heritage Program and extend 
         
            to her sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
         
                   RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be 
         
            prepared for Ms. Rackley as an expression of high regard from the 
         
            Texas Senate.
