The resolution honors Black Beauty Ranch in Murchison, Texas, for its 46 years of dedicated service as an animal sanctuary. Founded in 1979 by Cleveland Amory, the ranch has become a refuge for over 600 animals from various backgrounds, including those rescued from neglect, cruelty, and exploitation. Spanning more than 1,400 acres, the ranch provides a safe haven for a diverse range of species, including primates, big cats, and livestock. The facility not only focuses on the physical and emotional well-being of the animals but also engages in public education and advocacy to promote animal protection and environmental conservation.

In 2024, Black Beauty Ranch expanded its mission by rescuing animals from Puerto Rico's last zoo, showcasing its capacity for large-scale rescue operations. The resolution commends the staff, volunteers, and supporters of Black Beauty Ranch for their exceptional commitment to animal welfare and recognizes the significant impact the organization has made in the lives of both animals and people. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of appreciation from the Texas House of Representatives.
