SR 35 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Recognizing February 3 through 5, 2025, as Midland-Odessa Days.

This is a symbolic resolution (SR 35), not a policy bill. It formally recognizes February 3-5, 2025, as "Midland-Odessa Days" at the Texas State Capitol. The resolution highlights the historical, cultural, and economic significance of Midland and Odessa - two West Texas cities central to the Permian Basin oil industry - and their shared heritage. It has no legal effect or policy changes; it is purely a ceremonial acknowledgment of the cities' contributions.

MODERATE
The bill text was reformatted from a traditional numbered resolution style to a modern, accessibility-compliant layout. The substantive policy content remains unchanged - the bill still recognizes February 3-5, 2025 as Midland-Odessa Days at the State Capitol and extends a welcome to the visiting delegation. The changes are purely formatting and presentation rather than policy modifications.
