 1-1           WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives takes great
 1-2     pleasure in welcoming a delegation from the cities of River Oaks,
 1-3     Sansom Park, and Westworth Village to the house chamber; and
 1-4           WHEREAS, Located in Tarrant County, these three towns are
 1-5     united not only by their proximity but also by the desire of their
 1-6     citizens to promote a true sense of community; and
 1-7           WHEREAS, The city of River Oaks was built along the Trinity
 1-8     River and flourished during the 1950s with the growth of General
 1-9     Dynamics; the hub of River Oaks is the city complex, where the
1-10     library, city hall, and police and volunteer fire departments are
1-11     based, and local citizens contribute to the community's quality of
1-12     life through their involvement in the local chamber of commerce,
1-13     the Kiwanis and Lions clubs, and the Odd  Fellow Lodge; and
1-14           WHEREAS, Initially known as Broad View Acres, Sansom Park was
1-15     developed when the area was subdivided by the Rosen Heights Land
1-16     Company in the 1920s; popular among Fort Worth residents in search
1-17     of a quieter place to call home, the city was officially
1-18     incorporated on March 24, 1949; the largely residential town has a
1-19     dedicated mayor and city council who are volunteering their time to
1-20     promote new growth and development for their city; and
1-21           WHEREAS, Westworth Village was incorporated in 1941 and
1-22     nearby Carswell Air Force Base proved to be a catalyst for the
1-23     community's development; although its residents embrace the
1-24     challenges and opportunities of the future, they remain in touch
 2-1     with their rural roots, and the town still houses stables and is
 2-2     home to the historic Buck Oaks Mansion; and
 2-3           WHEREAS, The citizens of River Oaks, Sansom Park, and
 2-4     Westworth Village can take justifiable pride in their respective
 2-5     communities, and it is indeed appropriate that they be honored at
 2-6     this time; now, therefore, be it
 2-7           RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 77th Texas
 2-8     Legislature hereby recognize April 4, 2001, as River Oaks, Sansom
 2-9     Park, and Westworth Village Day at the State Capitol and extend a
2-10     warm welcome to the visiting delegation.
                                                                       Geren
                                             _______________________________

               I certify that H.R. No. 683 was adopted by the House on April
         4, 2001, by a non-record vote.
