Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Harris-Galveston Subsidence District.
HCR 128 is a ceremonial resolution honoring the 50th anniversary of the Harris-Galveston Subsidence District (HGSD), established in 1975. It acknowledges HGSD’s work over five decades in managing land subsidence (sinking due to groundwater use) through regulations, monitoring, and conservation programs, which protects over 5.1 million residents in Harris and Galveston Counties from flooding risks. The resolution formally commends HGSD’s service and directs that an official copy be presented to the district as a gesture of recognition by the Texas Legislature. This is purely commemorative with no new policy or funding changes.
