R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The 2003 Texas Inauguration provides an ideal moment 
in time for the citizens of the Lone Star State to unite in 
celebration, and one unique aspect of our shared heritage as Texans 
is a deep love of barbecue; and
	WHEREAS, For the 2003 festivities, Ranch Hand Barbecue was 
chosen as caterer; located in Terrell under the ownership of Eddie 
Deen, Ranch Hand Barbecue is preparing a feast for inauguration 
attendees that includes 800 briskets, 2,000 pounds of smoked 
turkey, 160 gallons of Eddie Deen's Signature Barbecue Sauce, and 
enough delicious side dishes to balance out the plate of even the 
heartiest appetite; and
	WHEREAS, No stranger to providing a delicious meal for large 
public events, Mr. Deen, who is a graduate of Texas A&M University, 
has also catered George W. Bush's gubernatorial and presidential 
inaugural ceremonies; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Deen and his staff from Ranch Hand Barbecue have 
done their very best to ensure that none of the persons attending 
the inaugural luncheon will go away hungry, and it is most 
appropriate that their remarkable efforts receive special 
legislative recognition at this time; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby commend Eddie Deen of Ranch Hand Barbecue for 
his catering of the 2003 Inaugural Barbecue Luncheon; and, be it 
further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Eddie Deen as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
