S.C.R. No. 37 is a resolution adopted by the Texas Legislature that emphasizes the strategic importance of the Panama Canal for the economic strength of both Texas and the United States. The resolution highlights how the expansion of the canal has increased cargo volume, benefiting the shipping industry and the economies reliant on Texas ports, which handle a significant portion of U.S. exports, including energy products and agricultural goods. It underscores the necessity of maintaining the canal's security and efficiency to support trade, supply chains, and national security interests.

The resolution calls for continued investment in Texas ports and infrastructure to enhance global trade competitiveness and urges the Trump Administration to engage diplomatically with Panama to ensure the canal remains accessible for U.S. commerce. Additionally, it advocates for collaboration among federal, state, and private sector stakeholders to strengthen supply chain resilience and protect U.S. economic interests. The resolution concludes with a request for official copies to be forwarded to key government officials and members of Congress for inclusion in the Congressional Record.
