HCR 115 is a concurrent resolution directing the Texas governor to posthumously award the Texas Legislative Medal of Honor to U.S. Army Sergeant Ramon Garza Gutierrez.

As a native of Del Rio who served in the all-Mexican American 36th Infantry Division, Gutierrez received multiple U.S. military honors, including two Silver Star Medals. The resolution formally honors his legacy for the first time by the State of Texas, acknowledging his bravery and sacrifice after his death in 1993.
