The resolution commemorates the dedication of an Official Texas Historical Marker for the Texas Rice Festival, which will take place on October 4, 2025, at Winnie-Stowell Park. The festival, first held in 1970, celebrates the local rice harvest and has become a significant annual event for the community, attracting thousands of attendees with various activities such as parades, cooking contests, and musical performances. Over the years, the festival has not only promoted the rice industry but also contributed over $1 million in scholarships and donations to the local area.

The resolution acknowledges the historical importance of the Texas Rice Festival, which has been a staple of the community for 55 years, despite interruptions from hurricanes and the COVID-19 pandemic. It recognizes the efforts of those involved in securing the historical marker designation and expresses the Texas House of Representatives' high regard for the festival organizers. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for them as a token of appreciation.
