Designating Newton County as the official Forest Capital of Texas for a 10-year period ending in 2035.

HCR 72 is a symbolic resolution designating Newton County as Texas' "Official Forest Capital" for 10 years (ending in 2035). It recognizes the county's natural assets - including the Sabine National Forest, Big Thicket National Preserve, and fishing waters - through a non-binding legislative declaration. The resolution has no policy impact or funding provisions, serving only as a commemorative title under Texas Government Code Section 391.003(e). It does not affect residents, businesses, or state policy.
