H.R. No. 20 is a resolution commemorating the 150th anniversary of Ebenezer Third Baptist Church in Austin, which was founded on February 16, 1875, by Reverend C. Ward and 18 charter members. The church initially met in a private home before moving to its current location, where it has undergone several expansions, including the construction of a brick sanctuary in 1885. The church has a rich musical heritage, highlighted by the Bright and Early Choir, which became the first African American choir to perform on a commercial radio program in Texas in 1938. Recognized with a Texas Historical Marker in 1976, Ebenezer Third Baptist Church has been a cornerstone of the community, providing spiritual growth and outreach opportunities for its members.

The resolution acknowledges the church's significant contributions to the community and its enduring legacy, which has been shaped by dedicated leadership over the years, including Reverend Dr. Marvin C. Griffin and the current pastor, Reverend Dr. Ricky Freeman. The Texas House of Representatives extends its best wishes to the congregation for the future and expresses high regard for the church by preparing an official copy of the resolution for them. The resolution was adopted by the House on March 6, 2025.
