Honoring the work of The Lighthouse of Houston.
This is a ceremonial resolution (HR 211), not a law. It formally honors The Lighthouse of Houston for its 85+ years of service to blind and visually impaired residents in the Houston area. The resolution recognizes the organization's work providing vocational training, assistive technology, health services, and employment opportunities to over 14,000 people annually, including 60% blind or low-vision employees. The Texas House of Representatives adopted the resolution on March 6, 2025, to express "high regard" for the organization's contributions.
