The resolution commemorates the 150th anniversary of Prairie View A&M University, highlighting its significant role as an educational institution and a catalyst for social progress in Texas. Established in 1876 under the Morrill Land Grant College Act, the university was initially created to educate African Americans and has since grown to become one of the largest historically Black colleges and universities in the nation. With a current enrollment of nearly 9,900 students and offering over 70 degree programs, Prairie View A&M has produced graduates who have excelled in various fields, including education, business, and engineering.

The resolution acknowledges the university's achievements, including its recognition as a top institution for graduating African Americans in several disciplines and its R2 designation for high research activity. It expresses appreciation for the university's commitment to providing students with a strong educational foundation and valuable experiences. The Texas House of Representatives extends its best wishes to the university's administrators, faculty, staff, students, and alumni, and plans to prepare an official copy of the resolution as a token of esteem.
