On this State of Texas Anniversary Remembrance Day, we reflect on February 19, 1846 — the day Texas officially relinquished its sovereignty and became the 28th state of the United States. It’s a moment that reminds us of the courage, resilience, and determination that have shaped our great state.
From its bold beginnings as an independent republic to the vibrant communities we serve today, Texas’ legacy is rooted in strength, pride, and possibility.
