H.R. No. 944 is a resolution recognizing October 2025 as Rett Syndrome Awareness Month in Texas. The resolution aims to raise awareness about Rett syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that predominantly affects females and manifests in early childhood. Symptoms typically emerge between 6 to 18 months of age, leading to a regression in motor skills and requiring lifelong assistance for daily tasks. The resolution highlights the challenges faced by individuals with Rett syndrome, including loss of mobility, speech, and other serious health issues, while also noting recent advancements in biomedical research that offer hope for treatment and potential reversal of symptoms.

The resolution encourages Texans to educate themselves about Rett syndrome and supports the efforts of organizations like the International Rett Syndrome Foundation, which funds research and advocates for improved quality of life for affected individuals and their families. By designating October 2025 as Rett Syndrome Awareness Month, the resolution seeks to rally support for ongoing research and resources that can enhance the lives of those living with this condition.
