DIGEST 

In the early 1900s, Elias Ramirez settled in Houston and made
contributions to the heritage of many Mexican-American citizens and newly
arrived Mexican immigrants.  Mr. Ramirez established the Sociedad
Mutualista Benito Juarez to assist in achieving goals and maintaining the
heritage of the Mexican American community. Mr. Ramirez's death in 1960
brought a great loss to his community, but his many achievements have left
an ongoing legacy of which many can be proud.

That the 75th Legislature of the State of Texas hereby name the state
