HCR 6 Texas House · 89th Legislature, 1st Called Session (2025)

Designating Newton County as the official Forest Capital of Texas for a 10-year period ending in 2035.

HCR 6 designates Newton County as the official Forest Capital of Texas for a 10-year period ending in 2035. The resolution highlights the county's natural resources, including the Sabine National Forest, Big Thicket National Preserve, and popular fishing areas like the Sabine River and Toledo Bend Reservoir, as the basis for the designation. This non-binding ceremonial resolution does not create new laws or funding but formally recognizes Newton County's role in promoting forest conservation and outdoor recreation.
