Senate Resolution No. 407 celebrates McMullen County Day at the Texas State Capitol on April 22, 2025. The resolution highlights the rich history and cultural significance of McMullen County, which spans over 1,000 square miles in South Texas. It notes that human settlement in the area dates back approximately 11,000 years, with early hunter-gatherer groups and later Spanish expeditions in the 17th and 18th centuries. The county was officially established in 1858, with the town of Tilden becoming the county seat. The local economy has historically been driven by cattle and sheep ranching, with oil and gas becoming increasingly important since the 1930s.

The resolution expresses pride in the residents of McMullen County and acknowledges their stewardship of a region with a fascinating history. It extends best wishes to the visiting delegation for a meaningful and enjoyable experience in Austin, and it calls for a copy of the resolution to be prepared in honor of this special occasion.
