HR 22 Texas House · 89th Legislature, 2nd Called Session (2025)

Honoring the first responders who provided aid to those impacted by the Texas Hill Country floods of July 2025.

HR 22 is a commemorative resolution honoring first responders who aided communities impacted by the July 2025 Texas Hill Country floods, which caused 135 fatalities - the sixth-deadliest freshwater flood in U.S. history. The resolution specifically recognizes the efforts of local agencies (like Kerr County Sheriff's Office and Marble Falls Fire Department), state teams (Texas National Guard, Texas Parks and Wildlife), and interstate/federal partners (U.S. Coast Guard, FEMA, and 25+ states) during the disaster. It does not create new policies or allocate funds; instead, it formally acknowledges the collective response through a ceremonial resolution. This procedural bill was adopted by the House on August 27, 2025, and reported enrolled the following day.
