By Flores                                             H.R. No. 1106
         76R16659 WMS-D                           
                                 R E S O L U T I O N
 1-1           WHEREAS, Guadalupe Rangel, Jr., recently won election to the
 1-2     La Villa Board of Aldermen and was appointed mayor pro tem, and his
 1-3     desire to serve his fellow citizens as a public official makes him
 1-4     most worthy of special legislative recognition; and
 1-5           WHEREAS, A democratic form of government depends on the
 1-6     informed participation of its people, and foremost among the
 1-7     system's participants are those dedicated men and women who are
 1-8     willing to make the sacrifices necessary to take on the role of
 1-9     public servant; and
1-10           WHEREAS, The demands of public office are great, and the
1-11     rewards are not always immediately apparent; public servants must
1-12     continually balance the needs of their constituents with the best
1-13     use of available resources, and few issues are easily resolved; and
1-14           WHEREAS, In taking on this difficult challenge, Mr. Rangel
1-15     has joined the proud tradition of citizen leadership that has been
1-16     our nation's trademark for more than two centuries, and he can take
1-17     justifiable pride in the role he has played in this noble legacy;
1-18     now, therefore, be it
1-19           RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 76th Texas
1-20     Legislature hereby congratulate Guadalupe Rangel, Jr., on his
1-21     recent election to the La Villa Board of Aldermen and extend to him
1-22     warmest best wishes for future success in his role as mayor pro
1-23     tem; and, be it further
1-24           RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
 2-1     prepared for Mr. Rangel as an expression of high regard by the
 2-2     Texas House of Representatives.
