HCR 64 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Designating the first full week in April as Gifted and Talented Students Week for a 10-year period ending in 2035.

HCR 64 is a ceremonial resolution designating the first full week in April as "Gifted and Talented Students Week" in Texas for a 10-year period ending in 2035. It does not create new laws, funding, or requirements - it simply recognizes and celebrates gifted and talented students, their achievements, and the educators who support them. The resolution applies to all Texas students and schools identified under state gifted education programs, which currently serve over 450,000 students. It remains effective until April 2035 per Texas Government Code Section 391.004(d). This is a symbolic gesture with no direct policy or financial impact.
