This resolution recognizes March 31, 2025, as Carrizo Springs Day at the State Capitol, celebrating the rich history and contributions of this Texas community. Located in Dimmit County, Carrizo Springs was founded in 1865 by 15 families and named by Spanish explorers for its springs and surrounding cane grass. The resolution highlights the city's evolution from a ranching and agricultural community to a diverse economic center with approximately 4,800 residents, noting its historical significance in developing industries like mining, oil and gas, transportation, and hospitality. The document emphasizes the town's key milestones, including its incorporation in 1910, the arrival of the railroad, and its important infrastructure developments. By officially designating a day at the State Capitol, the resolution aims to honor the citizens of Carrizo Springs and their ongoing efforts to build a vibrant community while recognizing their important role in Texas' history. The House of Representatives of the 89th Texas Legislature will extend a warm welcome to the visiting delegation on this special day.
