Designating El Paso as the official Boot Capital of Texas for a 10-year period ending in 2035.
HCR 113 designates El Paso as Texas' official "Boot Capital" for a 10-year period ending in 2035. The resolution recognizes El Paso's historical role in Western boot manufacturing, citing century-old companies like Lucchese and Tony Lama, and its cultural significance to Texas' identity. It does not create new laws or funding but formally honors the city's heritage through symbolic recognition. The designation remains in effect until the 10th anniversary of the resolution's passage. This is a non-binding ceremonial resolution affecting only El Paso's official designation.
