H.R. No. 835 is a resolution recognizing April 17, 2025, as The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) Day at the State Capitol. The resolution highlights UTA's rich history, which dates back to 1895, and its evolution from a private school to a significant public university within the University of Texas System. Today, UTA is the second-largest university in the UT System, with an enrollment exceeding 41,000 students and offering over 180 degree programs. The university plays a vital role in the state's economy, contributing approximately $28.8 billion annually, and is recognized for its research contributions and designation as a Hispanic-Serving Institution.

The resolution also emphasizes UTA's commitment to educational and workforce development, particularly through its various colleges and the recent groundbreaking of the UTA West campus. UTA's status as a world-class research institution is underscored by its R1 designation and its ranking as one of the fastest-growing doctoral public institutions in the U.S. The resolution concludes by extending best wishes to the visiting delegation from UTA for a meaningful visit to Austin, acknowledging the university's significant impact on the quality of life and economic development in Texas over the past 130 years.
