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

Furthermore, the Texas Legislature calls for continued investment in Texas ports and infrastructure to enhance global trade competitiveness. It urges the Trump Administration to engage diplomatically with Panama to ensure the canal remains secure and accessible for U.S. commerce. The resolution advocates for collaboration among federal, state, and private sector stakeholders to strengthen supply chain resilience and protect U.S. economic interests, and it requests that official copies be forwarded to key government officials and entered into the Congressional Record.
