House Concurrent Resolution No. 84 recognizes the city of Pineland, Texas, as the official Sawmill Capital of Texas due to its significant historical and economic contributions to the lumber industry. Established in the early 20th century, Pineland's development was closely tied to the lumber industry, beginning with a sawmill and lumber camp that emerged alongside the Gulf, Beaumont and Great Northern Railway. Over the years, the community evolved into a company town centered around the Temple Lumber Company, which has undergone various transformations and expansions, ultimately becoming the largest sawmill in the southern United States under Georgia-Pacific's operation.

The resolution highlights Pineland's integral role in the Texas lumber industry for over a century, celebrating the pride of its residents in their community's contributions to the state's economy. The designation as the Sawmill Capital of Texas will remain in effect for ten years from the date the resolution is passed by the legislature, reflecting the ongoing importance of the lumber industry to Pineland and its residents.
