Last activity — Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.

Adopted

The chamber formally agreed to it, and for a resolution that is the finish line: what it says is now officially the chamber's position, rule or tribute.

Nothing more is needed. A resolution is how a chamber speaks for itself or sets its own rules, so adopting it is what puts it into effect. It is not a law, so there is nothing for the President to sign.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. Adopted by the House voice vote

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.

The House by voice vote (members called out yes or no together): no member's position on it was recorded.

What this bill would do

This resolution addresses the catastrophic heavy rain and flash floods that occurred in the Texas Hill Country on July 4, 2025. The flooding caused significant loss of life, including at least 135 individuals, and widespread destruction of homes and infrastructure. It acknowledges the disaster declarations issued by Governor Greg Abbott and President Donald Trump to mobilize resources. The resolution honors the heroism of first responders and volunteers who rescued many people from life-threatening situations. Finally, the House of Representatives expresses condolences to the victims and pledges continued support for the recovery process.
