Bill > HR268

This resolution recognizes February 18 to 20, 2025, as Fenoglio Boot Company Day at the State Capitol, honoring a historic Texas boot manufacturing business with roots dating back to 1886 in Nocona, Texas. The resolution highlights the company's rich heritage, noting that it was established after the founder of the Nocona Boot Company passed away, and continues a tradition of crafting high-quality leather boots by hand. The Fenoglio Boot Company is celebrated for sourcing leather globally, using traditional techniques like wood peg construction and all-leather outsoles, and employing skilled workers with decades of experience. By formally acknowledging the company's contributions to the local economy and preserving a longstanding Texas craft tradition, the Texas House of Representatives extends a warm welcome to the Fenoglio Boot Company delegation and will prepare an official copy of the resolution as an expression of respect and recognition.
