Commemorating the 190th anniversary of the William B. Travis letter from the Alamo.
HR 222 is a ceremonial resolution commemorating the 190th anniversary of Lieutenant Colonel William B. Travis's 1836 letter from the Alamo. It honors the historical significance of Travis's "Victory or Death" plea during the Texas Revolution and commends the Texas State Library and Archives Commission for preserving the original letter. The resolution has no policy impact - it simply expresses the Texas House of Representatives' recognition of this historical event and directs an official copy to the library. As a commemorative resolution, it does not create new laws or affect any specific groups or policies.
