The resolution commemorates the 200th anniversary of the founding of Gonzales, Texas, which will be celebrated in 2025. Established in 1825 at the confluence of the Guadalupe and San Marcos Rivers, Gonzales played a significant role in Texas history, particularly during the Texas Revolution, highlighted by the Battle of Gonzales in 1835.

The resolution acknowledges the pride of Gonzales residents in their historical contributions and their ongoing commitment to the future. It highlights the city's attractions, such as the Gonzales Memorial Museum and the annual Come and Take It Celebration, which honors the town's pivotal role in Texas history. The House of Representatives extends its best wishes to the citizens of Gonzales for a meaningful and memorable bicentennial celebration, recognizing their important place in the narrative of the Lone Star State.
