H.R. No. 111 is a resolution commemorating the 189th anniversary of Texas' declaration of independence from Mexico, which occurred on March 2, 1836. The resolution highlights the historical context of this event, noting that it was prompted by the actions of Mexican dictator Antonio López de Santa Anna, who imposed a new constitution that stripped Texas of its rights. The resolution recalls the gathering of the Convention of 1836 at Washington-on-the-Brazos, where the Texas Declaration of Independence was drafted, and acknowledges the ongoing struggle for freedom exemplified by the defenders of the Alamo.
The resolution pays tribute to the 59 signatories of the Texas Declaration of Independence, who articulated a vision of liberty and self-governance, inspiring their fellow Texans to continue fighting for independence. It culminates in a formal recognition by the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas Legislature, honoring the contributions of those who played a pivotal role in establishing the Republic of Texas. The resolution was adopted by the House on April 9, 2025, by a non-record vote.
