Honoring the H. E. Butt Foundation for its service to the people of Texas.
This is a ceremonial resolution (not a bill with policy changes) honoring the H.E. Butt Foundation for its charitable work in Texas. It recognizes the foundation's 90-year history of supporting literacy, mental health, youth programs, and community initiatives like its camp and outdoor education partnerships. The resolution, adopted by the Texas House of Representatives, formally expresses "high regard" for the foundation's service to Texans but does not create new laws, funding, or obligations. It serves only as a symbolic tribute with no concrete policy impact.
