House Concurrent Resolution No. 135 recognizes the city of Slaton, Texas, as the official Banana Pudding Capital of Texas. This designation celebrates Slaton's rich history of community engagement and cultural festivities, particularly highlighted by the annual Banana Pudding Festival, which was first held in 2023. The festival, initiated by the Slaton Bakery, an iconic establishment with over a century of operation, has quickly become a signature event for the city, attracting both residents and visitors to enjoy a variety of pudding recipes, live entertainment, and local crafts during the Labor Day weekend.

The resolution emphasizes the festival's role in enhancing Slaton's reputation as a cultural hub and a destination for dessert enthusiasts, drawing participants from across Texas and beyond. It acknowledges the collaborative efforts of local organizations and businesses that support the festival, reinforcing the community spirit and culinary heritage of Slaton. The designation will remain in effect until the 10th anniversary of the resolution's passage, further solidifying the city's connection to this beloved Southern treat.
