H.R. No. 222 is a resolution commemorating the 190th anniversary of Lieutenant Colonel William Barrett Travis's famous letter from the Alamo, written on February 24, 1836, during the Texas Revolution. In this letter, Travis called for urgent reinforcements as he and his 150 men faced overwhelming forces led by Mexican General Antonio López de Santa Anna. Despite the desperate plea and the letter's subsequent publication, little assistance arrived in time, and Travis and his men ultimately perished when the Alamo fell on March 6, 1836. The letter has since become a significant historical artifact, symbolizing the spirit of sacrifice and the fight for liberty during the Texas Revolution.

The resolution acknowledges the importance of Travis's letter and commends the Texas State Library and Archives Commission for preserving this vital piece of history. It expresses the enduring legacy of Travis's words, particularly the rallying cry "Victory or Death," which continues to inspire Texans. The resolution was adopted by the Texas House of Representatives on May 23, 2025, and an official copy will be prepared for the Texas State Library and Archives Commission as a gesture of respect and recognition.
