By:  Homer                                                      H.C.R. No. 270



CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
	WHEREAS, Wendell Moore of Paris is indeed deserving of 
special commendation for his heroic efforts on December 7, 2002, 
that rescued a woman trapped beneath an overturned car; and
	WHEREAS, Lenore Gonzalez was riding in a sport utility 
vehicle on back roads in Grayson County; the driver lost control and 
the vehicle rolled, trapping Ms. Gonzalez underneath the overturned 
automobile; and
	WHEREAS, Arriving on the scene as the dust from the accident 
was settling, Mr. Moore immediately called on his first aid 
training and began checking the pinned woman's vital signs; with no 
time to spare because Ms. Gonzalez was struggling to breathe, Mr. 
Moore braced himself against the roof rack of the large vehicle and 
lifted it high enough off of Ms. Gonzalez for others who had arrived 
to pull her free; and
	WHEREAS, In another stroke of luck for Ms. Gonzalez, Mr. 
Moore had a global-positioning system which allowed him to direct 
medical staff to the accident's remote location; and
	WHEREAS, Wendell Moore demonstrated exceptional calmness 
under pressure, and the spirit of selflessness and bravery that he 
displayed indeed merits our highest praise; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the 78th Legislature of the State of Texas 
hereby honor Wendell Moore for his noteworthy act of heroism and 
commend him for the selflessness that he demonstrated in the 
dangerous situation; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. Moore as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives and Senate.
