Votes at a glance: Senate adopts ceremonial resolutions recognizing city delegations and advocacy days
Summary
The Senate adopted a series of ceremonial resolutions recognizing delegations from Allen and Grand Prairie, several commemorative resolutions, and a gun‑violence advocacy day; business also included committee scheduling and an announced recess.
During the floor session the Senate adopted a series of ceremonial resolutions and recorded several scheduling announcements.
Resolutions adopted by voice vote included those read by the secretary earlier in the session: Senate Resolution 127 (West), Senate Resolution 144 (Parker), Senate Resolution 169 (Birdwell), and Senate Resolution 170 (Johnson et al.). The chamber also adopted Senate Resolution 168 by Senator Paxton recognizing “Allen Days” at the State Capitol and Senate Resolution 131 (Johnson and West) recognizing “Grand Prairie Days.” Senator Goodhue presented Senate Resolution 174 recognizing 02/27/2025 as Texas Majority to End Gun Violence Advocacy Day; the resolution was adopted with no recorded objection.
The chair announced the resolutions and, where members rose to speak, brief welcoming remarks and acknowledgments were recorded (for example, Senator Paxton introduced a delegation from Allen and Senator Johnson introduced a delegation from Grand Prairie). Most of these items were adopted by voice vote; in multiple cases the chair said “the resolution is adopted” after hearing no objection.
Other floor business
- The secretary read nominations submitted by Governor Greg Abbott for several boards and commissions (e.g., Texas Juvenile Justice Board; Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired; Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas oversight committee); the transcript records the reading of nominations but does not record confirmation votes in this excerpt. - Committee scheduling announcements: the chair and committee chairs announced upcoming committee hearings and reconvening times for State Affairs, Finance, and Business & Commerce. - The Senate adopted a motion to recess and later announced the Senate will reconvene for reading and referral of bills and adjourn until an announced March date; the clerk read the schedule into the record.
Ending
These actions on ceremonial resolutions and scheduling were procedural and adopted without recorded opposition in the transcript excerpt. No appropriations or binding policy changes were attached to these ceremonial resolutions in the recorded transcript.
