H.R. No. 135 is a resolution commemorating the dedication of an Official Texas Historical Marker for Rancho de Pataguilla, which took place on April 5, 2025. The resolution highlights the historical significance of Rancho de Pataguilla, originally granted to Mission San Juan Capistrano around 1740, encompassing over 66,000 acres across Bexar, Wilson, and Karnes Counties. The rancho served primarily as grazing land for livestock, including thousands of sheep and cattle, and played a vital role in supporting the local community and Indigenous residents. The resolution also notes the ranch's evolution over the centuries, including its subdivision among private ranchers and its connection to the establishment of Floresville as the county seat.
The resolution expresses gratitude to the Wilson County Historical Commission, the Wilson County Historical Society, and the City of Floresville for their efforts in securing the historical marker designation. It acknowledges the ranch's nearly 300-year contribution to the region's heritage and recognizes its importance in the history of South Texas. The House of Representatives of the 89th Texas Legislature adopted the resolution on September 3, 2025, by a non-record vote.
