H.R. No. 1325 is a resolution congratulating Rishi Tirumalasetty, a seventh-grade student from Katy Junior High School, for his outstanding achievement at the Texas State Finals of the National Civics Bee held on May 17, 2025. The National Civics Bee, organized by The Civic Trust under the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, aims to enhance civic literacy among middle school students through various assessments of their knowledge in American history, government, and civic participation. Rishi qualified for the state finals after securing second place at the Katy Area Civics Bee and went on to win first place at the state level, earning him the opportunity to represent Texas at the National Civics Bee Championship in November.
The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' pride in Rishi's accomplishments and recognizes his exceptional ability and determination. It extends best wishes for his continued success and mandates that an official copy of the resolution be prepared for him as a token of high regard from the legislature. The resolution was adopted by the House on May 31, 2025, by a non-record vote.
