H.R. No. 1293 is a resolution commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Associated General Contractors of Texas Highway, Heavy, Utilities, and Industrial Branch, which was founded on December 11, 1924. The organization was established by a group of Texas contractors who aimed to advocate for general contractors and address the state's growing public infrastructure needs. Over the past century, the AGC of Texas has become a significant player in the infrastructure construction industry, with over 700 affiliated companies responsible for more than 90 percent of highway construction in Texas, as well as various engineering projects. The organization has consistently promoted workplace safety and the core values of skill, integrity, and responsibility.
The resolution acknowledges the AGC of Texas's contributions to the state's economic vitality and its ongoing efforts to shape the future of public infrastructure under the leadership of CEO Jennifer Woodard. It expresses the Texas House of Representatives' best wishes for the organization's continued success and honors its legacy as one of the longest-standing trade groups in Texas. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of high regard from the Texas House.
