H.R. No. 1261 is a resolution commemorating the grand opening of the Advanced Manufacturing and Aerospace Center at The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), which took place on April 11, 2025. The center, which represents an $80 million investment, was developed with funding from the UT System Board of Regents and features 29 laboratories, including the W. M. Keck Center for 3D Innovation and the Aerospace Center. The Keck Center is notable for housing over 70 advanced 3D printers and engaging in research and development projects with more than 100 industry partners and 10 federal agencies, including prominent organizations like NASA and the Department of Defense.

The resolution highlights UTEP's commitment to technological innovation and research, emphasizing the center's role in advancing fields such as propulsion, unmanned aerial vehicles, and spacecraft design through the use of artificial intelligence and advanced materials science. The Texas House of Representatives expresses its commendation for all those involved in the project and recognizes the center as a valuable resource for both the university and the broader community. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of appreciation from the Texas House.
