Designating Bandera as the official Cowboy Capital of Texas for a 10-year period ending in 2035.
This resolution designates Bandera as Texas' official "Cowboy Capital" for a 10-year period ending in 2035. It recognizes Bandera's historical role as a cattle-driving hub and its ongoing connection to ranching culture, including modern rodeos, guest ranches, and events like the Bandera Round-Up Celebration. The designation is ceremonial and does not create new laws or funding. It formally endorses Bandera's identity as a center for cowboy heritage under Texas state recognition.
