The resolution commemorates the upcoming 190th anniversary of the establishment of the Republic of Texas, which will be observed on March 2, 2026. It highlights the historical context of the event, noting that on March 1, 1836, delegates gathered in Washington, Texas, to draft a declaration of independence amid escalating tensions with Mexico. The resolution acknowledges key figures such as Richard Ellis, who presided over the convention, and George Childress, who is credited with drafting the declaration. The delegates adopted the declaration on March 2, following reports of the siege at the Alamo, and established an interim government with David G. Burnet as president.

The resolution emphasizes the significance of the Texas Declaration of Independence as a pivotal moment in the state's history, reflecting the enduring love of freedom that characterizes Texas. It also notes the urgency with which the convention adjourned after learning of the advancing Mexican army, just weeks before the Texans secured their independence at the Battle of San Jacinto. In recognition of this important anniversary, the resolution calls for the 89th Legislature of the State of Texas to officially commemorate the establishment of the Republic of Texas.
