H.R. No. 349 is a resolution commemorating the 150th anniversary of Huston-Tillotson University, the oldest higher education institution in Austin, which will be celebrated on February 28, 2025. The university has a rich history, tracing its origins back to 1875 as the Tillotson Collegiate and Normal Institute, later evolving through various forms and names, including Tillotson College and Samuel Huston College, before merging in 1952 to become Huston-Tillotson University in 2005. The institution has played a significant role in providing higher education to African Americans in Central Texas and currently serves over 1,000 students with a variety of undergraduate and graduate programs.

The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' recognition of the university's contributions to education and the community, extending best wishes to its faculty, students, staff, and alumni for the future. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of esteem from the Texas House, highlighting the importance of Huston-Tillotson University in the state's educational landscape.
