H.R. No. 51 is a resolution commemorating the third annual Cindy Walker Days fundraiser, which took place in Mexia on July 19, 2025. The event, hosted by the Cindy Walker Foundation, celebrated the legacy of the late songwriting legend Cindy Walker, who lived in Mexia for over fifty years. The festival featured live performances from various artists, including country singer Kevin Fowler and singer-songwriter Suzy Bogguss, and included a barn dance to honor Walker's early career. The resolution also highlights a collaboration between the Texas A&M University Department of Architecture and the Cindy Walker Foundation to restore Walker's home using advanced 3D scanning technology, aiming to preserve an important piece of Texas history and promote tourism in Mexia.
The resolution recognizes Cindy Walker's significant contributions to country music, noting her induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1997 and her many notable songs, such as "You Don't Know Me" and "Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream)." Since its inception, Cindy Walker Days has provided a platform for country music fans to support a meaningful cause while honoring Walker's legacy. The House of Representatives of the 89th Texas Legislature adopted the resolution on August 27, 2025, commending both the event and the partnership between Texas A&M University and the Cindy Walker Foundation.
