The Texas House of Representatives congratulates The Daily Texan, the student newspaper of The University of Texas at Austin, on its 125th anniversary of publication in 2025

The Daily Texan was formed in 1900 when two campus newspapers, the Calendar and the Ranger, merged; it became reportedly the first college daily newspaper in the South following a 1913 student referendum

Texas Student Publications was established in 1921 to publish The Daily Texan, Longhorn Magazine, and the Cactus yearbook

Notable alumni include Walter Cronkite, Bill Moyers, Karen Tumulty, Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonists Berke Breathed and Ben Sargent, and Wall Street Journal publisher Karen Elliott House

An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for The Daily Texan as an expression of high regard from the Texas House of Representatives
