The resolution honors former state representative Kyle J. Kacal, who retired on January 14, 2025, after over a decade of dedicated service to the citizens of District 12. Elected to the Texas House of Representatives in 2013, Kacal was known for his commitment to conservative values, individual liberties, and fiscal responsibility, particularly advocating for rural Texans. He served on various committees, including the Natural Resources and Environmental Regulation Committees, and held leadership roles as vice chair of the Rules and Resolutions Committee and the Corrections Committee during different legislative sessions.

In addition to his political career, Kacal is a longtime resident of the Brazos Valley, where he operates a beef cattle ranch and a hunting business. He holds a bachelor's degree in political science from Texas A&M University and a ranch management certificate from Texas Christian University. A member of the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Parish, Kacal is supported by his wife, Marci, and takes pride in their children, Carter and Kendall. The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' appreciation for Kacal's contributions and extends best wishes for his future endeavors.
