H.R. No. 337 is a resolution recognizing the significant contributions of the Consulate General of France in Houston and the longstanding relationship between France and Texas. The resolution highlights historical connections dating back to the 17th century, including the establishment of Fort St. Louis by French explorer René-Robert Cavelier and the later settlement of Champ d'Asile by French veterans. It notes France's early recognition of the Republic of Texas and the subsequent economic ties that have developed, with trade between Texas and France reaching $15.6 billion in 2022.

The resolution commends the efforts of the Consulate General, led by Valérie Baraban since 2021, in supporting French citizens in Texas, promoting business and cultural exchanges, and fostering language learning through initiatives like the Villa Albertine program. It emphasizes the importance of the friendship between France and Texas as a source of prosperity and cultural enrichment, and concludes by honoring the consulate for its contributions and recognizing the enduring bonds between the two regions. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for the consulate as a gesture of appreciation from the Texas House of Representatives.
