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 that France was the second country to recognize the Republic of Texas and emphasizes the ongoing economic ties, with trade between Texas and France amounting to $15.6 billion in 2022, making France Texas's 14th-largest trade partner.

The resolution also acknowledges the role of the Consulate General, led by Consul General Valérie Baraban since 2021, in supporting French citizens in Texas and promoting cultural and economic exchanges. Initiatives such as the Villa Albertine program and the French-American Cultural Foundation further illustrate the consulate's commitment to fostering French culture and business in the state. The Texas House of Representatives honors the consulate for its efforts in strengthening the bonds between France and Texas and expresses its high regard by preparing an official copy of the resolution for the consulate.
