H.R. No. 23 is a resolution honoring an elite urban search-and-rescue team from the Czech Republic for their invaluable assistance during the Hill Country flood that occurred on July 4, 2025. The catastrophic flooding resulted in the loss of over 100 lives, and the 16-member Czech team, accompanied by four search and recovery dogs, collaborated with the Texas National Guard to conduct secondary search and recovery operations in challenging conditions. Their efforts were crucial in the aftermath of the disaster, as approximately 100 victims remained missing.

The resolution acknowledges the longstanding partnership between the Texas National Guard and the Czech Republic, which has been fostered through the National Guard Bureau State Partnership Program since 1991. This collaboration has included mutual support during crises, such as the Texas National Guard's assistance to the Czech Republic following severe flooding in Ostrava in 2024. The resolution expresses profound gratitude for the Czech team's dedication and professionalism, recognizing their contributions to Texas and extending best wishes for their future endeavors. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of appreciation from the Texas House of Representatives.
