The resolution commemorates the dedication of the Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge, located on the Texas Gulf Coast, which took place on April 24, 2025. This renaming honors Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl who tragically lost her life in June 2024. Following an executive order by President Donald J. Trump, the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge was renamed in her memory by U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum on March 10, 2025. Jocelyn was known for her kindness and love of nature, often rescuing stray or injured animals, which reflects the values of compassion and conservation that the refuge embodies.

The resolution highlights Jocelyn's legacy and the importance of the 39,000-acre refuge, which supports a diverse range of wildlife, including birds, mammals, amphibians, and insects. It emphasizes that while Jocelyn's life was cut short, her spirit and dedication to nature will continue to inspire conservation efforts at the newly named refuge. The 89th Legislature of the State of Texas officially recognizes and commemorates this significant dedication.
