H.R. No. 757 is a resolution recognizing April 24, 2025, as La Salle County Day at the Texas State Capitol. This celebration honors the proud residents of La Salle County, which has a rich history dating back approximately 11,000 years. The county was formally organized in 1880, with Cotulla becoming its most populous town and eventual county seat. Over the years, La Salle County has seen significant development, particularly with the introduction of commercial agriculture and the discovery of oil, which has contributed to its economic growth.
The resolution acknowledges the current population of La Salle County, which exceeds 6,600 residents, primarily in Cotulla and Encinal. As the citizens celebrate their heritage, they also look forward to future opportunities, reflecting on their contributions to Texas's history. The House of Representatives adopted the resolution on April 17, 2025, with a vote of 133 in favor and 7 against, welcoming the visiting delegation to the Capitol for this special occasion.
