HCR 87 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Designating Amarillo as the official Ranch Rodeo Capital of Texas for a 10-year period ending in 2035.

This concurrent resolution designates Amarillo as Texas' official Ranch Rodeo Capital for a 10-year period ending in 2035. It recognizes Amarillo's historical role in ranching and rodeo traditions, including events like the Tri-State Fair & Rodeo and the Working Ranch Cowboys Association finals. The designation is symbolic and does not create new laws or funding, but formally acknowledges the city's cultural significance to Texas' ranching heritage. The resolution takes effect upon final passage by the legislature and remains in place until 2035.
