H.R. No. 777 is a resolution celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Jones Graduate School of Business at Rice University, which was established in 1974. The school, initially funded by the Houston Endowment and named after its founder Jesse H. Jones, has evolved significantly over the years, starting with a small cohort of students and a limited faculty. It gained accreditation in 1998 and has since received numerous accolades, including being ranked as a top business school by various publications. Under the leadership of Dean Peter Rodriguez, the school has introduced innovative programs, such as Rice University's first online degree and a hybrid MBA program, while its undergraduate business major has quickly gained popularity.

The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' congratulations to the Jones Graduate School of Business for its achievements and contributions to the education of nearly 10,000 students over the past five decades. It extends best wishes for the school's continued success and calls for an official copy of the resolution to be prepared as a token of high regard from the Texas House. The resolution was adopted on April 17, 2025, with a vote of 133 in favor and 7 against.
