Senators moved for adoption of individual resolutions recognizing Montgomery County Day, Golden Triangle Days, Texas Southern University Day, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Day, Nurse Day at the Capitol, Cotton Day, and multiple memorial resolutions honoring individuals including Johnny Canales and Judge L.
