H.R. No. 1044 is a resolution commemorating the 24th anniversary of The Nickel Sandwich Grill in Houston, which was celebrated on April 4, 2025. The restaurant was founded by Craig Presley, a local resident who has deep ties to the Fifth Ward neighborhood, having graduated from Phillis Wheatley High School and Texas Southern University. Before opening the restaurant in March 2001, Presley taught biology to at-risk students and previously owned a Blimpie franchise. His goal in establishing The Nickel Sandwich Grill was to set an example of entrepreneurship for local youth, and over the years, the restaurant has actively contributed to the community by sponsoring various activities and participating in summer youth employment programs.

The resolution acknowledges the restaurant's significant role in the local economy and its status as a cherished community institution. It expresses the Texas House of Representatives' best wishes for the continued success of The Nickel Sandwich Grill and directs that an official copy of the resolution be prepared as a token of high regard. The resolution was adopted by the House on May 23, 2025, by a non-record vote.
