The resolution recognizes Bandera, Texas, as the official Cowboy Capital of Texas, highlighting the city's deep-rooted connection to cowboy culture, ranching, and its historical significance in the development of the region. Founded in the 1850s, Bandera served as a key staging point for cattle drives along the Western Trail, benefiting from its natural resources and proximity to military presence. The legacy of these cattle drives continues to influence the community, which remains a hub for modern ranchers and hosts various cowboy-themed events and rodeos throughout the year.

The resolution emphasizes Bandera's vibrant cowboy culture, which attracts visitors eager to experience its rich history and traditions. The city celebrates its Western heritage through annual events such as Cowboy Mardi Gras and the Bandera Round-Up Celebration, showcasing live music, reenactments, and parades. By officially designating Bandera as the Cowboy Capital of Texas, the resolution aims to honor the city's enduring legacy and its role in shaping the identity of the Lone Star State. This designation will remain in effect until the 10th anniversary of the resolution's passage.
