On Saturday, July 5, 2025, community leaders, entrepreneurs, and supporters gathered to Kick Off Texas’ first officially recognized Small Business Saturday, a historic celebration made possible by*House Concurrent Resolution 9 (HCR 9).
Authored by Representatives Christina Morales (District 145), Lauren Ashley (District 146), and Charlene Ward Johnson (District 139), the event honored the vital contributions of small businesses across the state—especially those fueling economic growth, job creation, and cultural vibrancy in Houston.
The festive launch spotlighted local vendors, inspired collaboration, and encouraged consumers to shop small and local—not just for a day, but as a lasting commitment to community prosperity. With music, remarks, and networking, the celebration embodied the spirit of Texas entrepreneurship.
Houston Style Magazine applauds these visionary lawmakers for leading the charge and empowering small business owners as the backbone of Texas’ thriving economy. 💼💙
