The resolution recognizes the significant impact of the lumber industry on the development and economy of Pineland, Texas, since its establishment in the early 20th century. Originally founded around a sawmill and lumber camp along the Gulf, Beaumont and Great Northern Railway, Pineland has evolved into a vital community centered on the Temple Lumber Company, which has undergone various transformations and expansions over the years. The city has maintained its importance in the Texas lumber industry, particularly with the recent completion of a $120 million expansion that has made the Pineland Lumber Complex the largest sawmill in the southern United States.

In light of this rich history and ongoing contributions to the state's economy, the resolution designates Pineland as the official Lumber Capital of Texas. This designation will remain in effect for ten years from the date the resolution is passed by the legislature, highlighting the community's pride in its lumber heritage and its role in supporting the broader Texas economy.
