H.R. No. 1525 is a resolution commemorating the 150th anniversary of the community of Barrett, Texas, which will be celebrated with a Founders Day event on June 14, 2025. The resolution honors Harrison Barrett, the community's founder, who was born around 1845 and faced significant challenges during his early life, including the separation of his family during slavery. After emancipation in 1865, Barrett and his wife, Annie, worked diligently to reunite their family and establish a homestead, where they built houses and started farms. Barrett's contributions to the community included establishing a sawmill, gristmill, and coffee mill, as well as donating land for a church and school.

The resolution highlights Barrett's legacy of resilience and commitment to his family, which has inspired generations. It notes the growth of Barrett from its early days as Barrett's Settlement to its current status as a community of approximately 5,000 residents, including the establishment of a high school and post office in 1947. The Texas House of Representatives expresses its best wishes to the community for the upcoming Founders Day celebration and plans to provide an official copy of the resolution as a token of esteem.
