The resolution recognizes March 19, 2025, as Houston Lawyers Association Day at the State Capitol in Austin, honoring the contributions of the Houston Lawyers Association (HLA) to the legal profession and the Black community. Established in 1955, the HLA emerged in response to discriminatory practices within the legal system, particularly the refusal of the Houston Bar Association to admit African Americans. The organization has since played a crucial role in advocating for education, equal justice, and professional development for its members, while also addressing issues affecting the Black community through mentoring, coalition building, and legal training.

The resolution highlights the HLA's ongoing commitment to combat injustice and serve as a voice for the Black community over the past seven decades. It expresses the Texas House of Representatives' high regard for the association and its members, welcoming the visiting delegation to the Capitol and acknowledging their significant contributions to the legal field and society at large. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for the HLA as a token of appreciation for their work and dedication.
