Recognizing April 23, 2025, as Balch Springs Day.
Senate Resolution 424 designates April 23, 2025, as Balch Springs Day at the Texas State Capitol to honor the city's history and celebrate community leaders gathering in Austin. The resolution highlights Balch Springs' founding in the 1870s by John Balch (after whom the city is named) and its growth from a small settlement to a city of approximately 27,000 residents in Dallas County. It serves as a symbolic recognition of the community's heritage and current status as a southeastern gateway to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
