A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution supports the goals and ideals of San Jacinto Day. It recognizes April 21, 1836, as the date General Sam Houston and the Texan Army defeated the Mexican Army. The text notes that this 18-minute battle secured Texas independence from Mexico. This victory provided the autonomy needed for Texas to join the United States nine years later. The resolution honors the bravery of those who fought in the Texas revolution. Finally, it encourages all Americans to reflect on the importance of freedom.
