Summary — H.R. 1168 (2025)

Purpose

H.R. 1168 is a congressional resolution congratulating Elemi, a restaurant in Horizon City, Texas, on being ranked No. 2 on Texas Monthly’s list of “The 50 Best Tacos in Texas.” The resolution is honorary in nature and is intended to recognize the restaurant, its owners and staff, and the community for this achievement.

Key provisions

  • Formally congratulates Elemi (Horizon City, TX) for earning the No. 2 spot on Texas Monthly’s “The 50 Best Tacos in Texas.”
  • Acknowledges the cultural and economic significance of local culinary excellence and the community pride associated with the recognition.

No substantive policy changes, appropriations, regulatory changes, or new legal authorities are included. The text provided includes a short-title line — “Protecting Federal Funds from Human Trafficking and Smuggling Act of 2025” — which appears inconsistent with the stated subject and title of the resolution. This inconsistency likely reflects a drafting or clerical error; it does not change the honorary nature of the resolution as listed in the bill classification.
