In memory of Antonio Cornelius Baker.
HR 190 is a commemorative resolution passed by the Texas House of Representatives honoring Antonio Cornelius Baker, a longtime advocate for people with HIV and AIDS who dedicated his career to reducing stigma and securing federal funding for minority communities. The resolution recognizes his work as a policy advisor with the National Institutes of Health, cofounder of the National Black Gay Men's Advocacy Coalition, and executive director of the Whitman-Walker Clinic, among other contributions. It does not create new policy but formally pays tribute to his legacy and extends condolences to his family. This resolution was adopted unanimously by the Texas House on February 6, 2025.

MINOR
The document appears to be a resolution honoring Antonio Cornelius Baker rather than a legislative bill with substantive policy changes. The primary changes are formatting and structural: the text was reorganized from a traditional resolution format to an enrolled bill format, with line breaks and spacing adjusted for digital accessibility compliance (WCAG 2.1). No substantive policy, funding, eligibility, or enforcement changes were made.
