The resolution commemorates the 190th anniversary of the Battle of Gonzales, which will take place on October 2, 2025. This battle is recognized as a significant event in Texas history, marking the beginning of the Texas Revolution. It arose from tensions between the Mexican government, led by President Antonio López de Santa Anna, and Texas colonists who were accustomed to a degree of autonomy. The conflict escalated when Mexican troops attempted to reclaim a cannon that had been loaned to the town for protection, leading to a confrontation between the colonists and the Mexican Army.

The Texans' refusal to surrender the cannon and their subsequent victory in the battle not only demonstrated their courage but also set the stage for further military actions against the Mexican forces, ultimately leading to the siege of San Antonio. The resolution highlights the importance of the Battle of Gonzales as a symbol of resistance against tyranny and calls for the Texas Legislature to officially recognize and commemorate this pivotal moment in the state's history.
