H.R. No. 29 is a resolution congratulating Burnt Bean Co. in Seguin for achieving the No. 1 ranking on the Texas Monthly list of the 50 Best BBQ Joints in Texas for 2025. This prestigious ranking, published every four years, is considered a definitive assessment of Texas barbecue establishments and was compiled by barbecue editor Daniel Vaughn and a team of 26 taste testers. Burnt Bean Co., founded by Ernest Servantes and Dave Kirkland, began as a pop-up restaurant in 2019 and quickly gained acclaim for its traditional barbecue offerings and unique specialties, including Sunday breakfast options. The restaurant has also received recognition from The New York Times and a 2024 Michelin Bib Gourmand Award.
The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' pride in Burnt Bean Co.'s accomplishments and acknowledges the restaurant's significant impact on the Seguin community. It extends best wishes for continued success to the owners and staff and calls for an official copy of the resolution to be prepared as a token of high regard from the Texas House. The resolution was adopted by the House on August 27, 2025, by a non-record vote.
