WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to recognize the Hill-Bert's Burgers in Austin and the family of Hilbert R. Maldonado on the occasion of the restaurant's 50th anniversary; and

WHEREAS, This treasured family-owned business was founded in 1973 by enterprising University of Texas student Hilbert R. Maldonado, who set out to create the best burger in the capital city; and

WHEREAS, Hilbert and his wife, Lucille, pursued their dream of establishing Hill-Bert's Burgers, and their phenomenal family burger and milkshake recipes became favorites of Austin locals and visitors alike; and

WHEREAS, For 50 years, the Austin community has been overwhelmingly appreciative of Hill-Bert's fresh and juicy burgers, hand-breaded chicken-fried steak sandwiches, homemade onion rings, and famous milkshakes; and

WHEREAS, This beloved business and its owners and staff are indeed deserving of special recognition for catering to the hearts and palates of Texans throughout the years and for continuing their family's proud tradition of providing exceptional service and delicious fare to their customers; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby commend the Maldonado family and the staff of Hill-Bert's Burgers on their contributions to the Austin community and extend to all congratulations on the restaurant's 50th anniversary and best wishes for the future and for continued success; and, be it further
