Honoring the Magnolia Historical Society for its efforts to preserve and promote local history.
This resolution (HR 1253) is a symbolic gesture by the Texas House of Representatives to honor the Magnolia Historical Society for its 30+ years of work preserving local history.

The resolution formally acknowledges the society’s efforts and includes a copy of the resolution as a gift to the organization. As a commemorative resolution, it contains no policy changes or funding provisions.
