 R E S O L U T I O N

   

        WHEREAS, Citizens of Horseshoe Bay are celebrating the 20th 

  

 anniversary of their city's incorporation in 2025; and

  

        WHEREAS, Located along Lake Lyndon B. Johnson at the junction 

  

 of southeastern Llano County and southwestern Burnet County, 

  

 Horseshoe Bay was originally used as ranchland before cousins Wayne 

  

 and Norman Hurd began developing it into a lakeshore resort area in 

  

 the 1970s; its population grew to consist primarily of retirees and 

  

 resort-goers, and on September 10, 2005, citizens incorporated and 

  

 elected the first mayor and city council; and

  

        WHEREAS, Since its founding, Horseshoe Bay has blossomed into 

  

 a vibrant and thriving community, demonstrating remarkable 

  

 progress in areas such as economic development, cultural 

  

 enrichment, environmental sustainability, and tourism, and it had 

  

 the distinction of being named the 2023 Scenic City of the Year by 

  

 the Texas Municipal League; today, the city boasts many 

  

 recreational amenities, including three 18-hole golf courses, a 

  

 marina, and a yacht club; and

  

        WHEREAS, The people of Horseshoe Bay have shown unwavering 

  

 dedication, resilience, and community spirit, and in so doing, they 

  

 have contributed to their city's success and have made it a 

  

 wonderful place to live, work, and visit; and

  

        WHEREAS, With its rich history and the promise of a bright 

  

 future on the horizon, Horseshoe Bay has much to offer to residents 

  

 and guests alike, and the community indeed merits recognition as it 

  

 celebrates this significant milestone; now, therefore, be it

  

        RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas 

  

 Legislature hereby commemorate the 20th anniversary of the founding 

  

 of Horseshoe Bay and recognize its citizens, past and present, for 

  

 embodying the true spirit of the Lone Star State; and, be it further

  

        RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 

  

 prepared for the City of Horseshoe Bay as an expression of high 

   

 regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
