	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Members of the Deer Park Chamber of Commerce are
	visiting the State Capitol on March 5, 2025, providing a welcome
	opportunity to pay tribute to this outstanding organization and the
	city it serves; and
	WHEREAS, Located in central Harris County, the area was first
	settled in 1892 by farmer and former Illinois legislator Simeon
	Henry West, and it was named for the abundant deer that roamed the
	Gulf region during that time; in 1893, Mr. West built a hotel and
	post office, and a railway station was established soon after; and
	WHEREAS, Deer Park was incorporated in 1948; in the
	subsequent decades, the city saw significant growth, and today, it
	is home to more than 33,000 residents; education is a key element in
	the city's productivity, and in conjunction with the surrounding
	communities, Deer Park has supported San Jacinto College since its
	opening in 1961; and
	WHEREAS, Visitors and residents alike enjoy a range of
	recreational opportunities, including a community theater and
	numerous parks; the city also offers such historical attractions as
	Patrick's Cabin, the site at which the initial treaty papers were
	drafted following the 1836 Battle of San Jacinto, where Texas
	secured its independence from Mexico; and
	WHEREAS, Under the exceptional leadership of president and
	CEO Paula Moorhaj, chair Debbie Westbeld, and the other board
	members, the Deer Park Chamber of Commerce is a strong agent
	promoting economic vitality and quality of life in the region; it
	boasts numerous committees that are designed to provide its members
	with key business opportunities and improve the overall standard of
	living in Deer Park, and it works daily to promote community
	development; and
	WHEREAS, The Deer Park Chamber of Commerce has played an
	important role in building a stronger business network and
	community, and all those associated with the organization may take
	pride in their contributions to the area's prosperity; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize March 5, 2025, as Deer Park Chamber of
	Commerce Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm welcome to the
	visiting delegation.
