H.R. No. 517 is a resolution recognizing March 25, 2025, as Parker County Day at the State Capitol, celebrating the proud residents of Parker County who will gather in Austin for this occasion. The resolution highlights the county's rich history, established in 1855 and named after Isaac Parker, who brought settlers to the area. It notes the growth of Parker County during the late 19th century due to the construction of railroads and the establishment of key towns such as Springtown and Weatherford, the latter serving as the county seat and a significant frontier settlement in North Texas.

The resolution also emphasizes Parker County's diverse economy, which includes commercial and agribusiness sectors, and its attractions, such as Clark Gardens and the Doss Heritage and Culture Center. Weatherford is recognized as the Peach Capital of Texas and the Cutting Horse Capital of the World, hosting events like the Parker County Peach Festival. The resolution concludes by extending a warm welcome to the visiting delegation, acknowledging the county's unique history and its citizens' efforts to build a bright future.
