Designating Matagorda County as the official Birding Capital of Texas for a 10-year period ending in 2035.
HCR 104 is a ceremonial resolution designating Matagorda County as Texas' official "Birding Capital" for 10 years (ending in 2035). It recognizes the county's diverse habitats, which support over 225 bird species annually - including rare sightings like surf scoters - and its conservation areas covering more than 26,000 acres. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but formally honors the county's established role in bird conservation and tourism, including events like the Matagorda Bay Birdfest. This designation applies solely to symbolic recognition under Texas law.
