H.R. No. 276 is a resolution recognizing February 18, 2025, as Prairie View A&M University Day at the State Capitol. The resolution celebrates the university's rich history, which dates back to its establishment in 1876 as Alta Vista Agricultural and Mechanical College for Colored Youth. It highlights the institution's evolution, including its designation as a Land Grant College, the introduction of a four-year senior college program in 1919, and the adoption of its current name in 1973. Prairie View A&M University has grown significantly over the years, achieving a record enrollment of nearly 9,900 students in the fall of 2024 and awarding approximately 46,000 academic degrees since its inception.

The resolution also acknowledges the university's contributions to higher education, particularly as one of only 11 Historically Black Colleges and Universities to hold the R2 Carnegie Melon Distinction for its doctoral research contributions. It expresses appreciation for the leadership of President Dr. Tomikia LeGrande and the diverse educational opportunities offered through its eight colleges and schools. The Texas House of Representatives extends its best wishes to all affiliated with Prairie View A&M University on this special occasion and plans to prepare an official copy of the resolution as a token of high regard.
