Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 12, filed by Hinojosa of Nueces, emphasizes Texas's significant role in space exploration and innovation since the 1960s. The resolution highlights the state's status as a leader in the aerospace sector, housing NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center and over 2,000 aerospace establishments. It notes the establishment of the Texas Space Commission and the Texas Aerospace Research and Space Economy Consortium, which aim to enhance the state's involvement in space operations. Furthermore, the resolution points out that Texas ranks second in the nation for spaceport locations, driven by commercial investment in space transportation.

The resolution urges the United States Congress to amend the Internal Revenue Code to allow spaceports to qualify for tax-exempt private activity bonds. This change is seen as a way to encourage investment in aerospace infrastructure, which would benefit both Texas and the nation, ensuring the U.S. remains competitive in the space sector. The resolution calls for the Texas Secretary of State to send official copies to key congressional leaders, requesting that it be entered into the Congressional Record as a memorial to the U.S. Congress.
