Recognizing April 24, 2025, as Austin County Day.

This Senate Resolution (SR 505) designates April 24, 2025, as "Austin County Day" at the Texas State Capitol. It recognizes Austin County residents and their historical significance, citing the county's founding in the 1820s, its namesake Stephen F. Austin, and contributions to Texas history (including the first Texas newspaper and postal system). The resolution has no policy impact - it is purely ceremonial, extending the Senate's recognition to Austin County residents and sending a copy to the county as a gesture of esteem. The Senate adopted it on May 8, 2025.
