Directing the Texas School for the Deaf to name its middle school gymnasium the Robert Rives Gymnasium.
HCR 8 is a concurrent resolution directing the Texas School for the Deaf (TSD) to name its middle school gymnasium the "Robert Rives Gymnasium." It honors Robert Rives, a TSD alumnus who taught at the school for over 40 years, served as its first football coach (1894-1898), and was inducted into the TSD Alumni Hall of Fame. The resolution does not create new laws or policies but formally requests the school to adopt this naming as a tribute to Rives' legacy. The resolution applies directly to the Texas School for the Deaf and its Governing Board.
