H.R. No. 283 is a resolution recognizing February 19, 2025, as Preservation Texas Day at the State Capitol in Austin. The resolution acknowledges the efforts of Preservation Texas, an organization founded in 1985, which is dedicated to empowering Texans to protect their cultural heritage. With its headquarters in San Marcos and regional offices in Tyler and El Paso, Preservation Texas raises awareness about the state's history and prehistory, engages in research, and educates the public on preservation issues. The organization is involved in the stewardship of significant cultural sites and has programs that support the rehabilitation of historic African-American buildings, among other initiatives.

The resolution highlights Preservation Texas's Most Endangered Places list, which has helped preserve over 90 percent of nearly 200 threatened sites since its inception in 2004. By spotlighting these locations, the organization assists local advocates and provides technical support to ensure the survival of Texas's cultural heritage. The Texas House of Representatives expresses its high regard for Preservation Texas and extends a warm welcome to the visiting delegation on this designated day.
