Designating El Paso as the official Boot Capital of Texas for a 10-year period ending in 2035.

This bill designates El Paso as Texas's official "Boot Capital" for a 10-year period ending in 2035. It recognizes El Paso's long-standing role as a hub for renowned boot manufacturers like Lucchese, Tony Lama, and Caboots, which have preserved Western footwear craftsmanship for generations. The resolution, passed by the Texas Legislature and signed by the governor, formally acknowledges the industry's cultural significance and economic impact on the region. It does not create new laws or funding but serves as a ceremonial recognition under Texas Government Code Section 391.003(e).
