H.R. No. 656 is a resolution recognizing March 25, 2025, as Texas Humane Legislation Network Day at the State Capitol. The Texas Humane Legislation Network (THLN), founded in 1975, is dedicated to protecting animals through advocacy and education, boasting over 27,000 members, including animal shelter workers, law enforcement, and animal law experts. The organization collaborates with elected officials and various stakeholders to promote enforceable anti-cruelty measures and has made significant contributions to animal welfare in Texas over the past fifty years.
The resolution commends THLN for its efforts and contributions to animal welfare and extends a warm welcome to its members visiting the Capitol. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of high regard from the Texas House of Representatives. The resolution was adopted by the House on the same day it was presented.
