Designating La Salle County as the official Wild Hog Capital of Texas for a 10-year period ending in 2035.
This bill designates La Salle County as Texas' official "Wild Hog Capital" for 10 years, ending in 2035. It formally recognizes the county's cultural connection to wild hog hunting and its annual Wild Hog Cook-Off event, which began in 1981 and supports local tourism and ranching. The resolution, passed as a ceremonial designation under state law, does not create new regulations or funding but honors the county's economic and recreational ties to wild hog hunting. It directly affects La Salle County residents and businesses benefiting from this tradition.
