Bill > HR1019

This resolution honors the Gulf Coast Tennis Association (GCTA) during National Tennis Month in May 2025, recognizing the organization's significant contributions to tennis in the Texas Gulf Coast region. Founded in 2016 by Don Cudd and Joan Houken, GCTA is an all-volunteer nonprofit affiliated with the United States Tennis Association Texas, operating primarily in Brazoria and Matagorda Counties. The resolution highlights the organization's diverse programming, including free tennis lessons, team tennis, doubles leagues, tournaments, youth-focused Ace It summer camp, Alley Cats Red Ball for adult beginners, and special initiatives like the Tennis for All camp and scholarship program. The Texas House of Representatives formally acknowledges GCTA's nearly decade-long efforts to help Texans develop tennis skills and reach their potential, both on and off the court, and extends best wishes for the organization's continued success. As a gesture of recognition, an official copy of the resolution will be prepared for the GCTA, symbolizing the House's high regard for the organization's community service and sporting contributions.
