H.R. No. 1544



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, For the past quarter-century, Jerry Huffman Custom 
Builders has served the citizens of North Texas with distinction 
while contributing to the betterment of the communities it serves; 
and
	WHEREAS, Founded by company president Jerry Huffman in 1978, 
the company specializes in building condominium complexes for use 
as office space by doctors, dentists, lawyers, accountants, and 
other professionals; having emerged as one of the leading office 
condominium builders in the state, the company now has complexes 
throughout Plano, McKinney, Allen, The Colony, Las Colinas, and 
Carrollton as well as in San Antonio, Austin, and Houston; and
	WHEREAS, Though Mr. Huffman is the driving force behind the 
company's impressive growth, his family members are also pivotal to 
its continued success; the buildings' interiors are custom designed 
by his mother, Joanne, landscaping and exterior maintenance are 
overseen by his sister, Jennifer Golden, marketing is handled by 
his father, Max, and his sister Stephanie Rippe serves as senior 
vice president of operations for the company; and
	WHEREAS, A long-time Rotarian and Paul Harris Fellow, Mr. 
Huffman is committed to that organization's mission of humanitarian 
service and, to that end, this esteemed gentleman has given 
generously of his time and resources in behalf of his fellow Texans, 
perhaps most visibly through the instrumental role he played in 
rebuilding the Plano Children's Medical Clinic after the original 
structure burned down in 1999; and
	WHEREAS, Jerry Huffman Custom Builders hosted a Black Tie 
Gala benefiting the Plano Children's Medical Clinic on May 16, 
2003, in celebration of the company's silver anniversary, and it is 
a pleasure to join in commemorating such a significant milestone in 
the history of this outstanding Texas business; now, therefore, be 
it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate all those associated with Jerry 
Huffman Custom Builders on the memorable occasion of the company's 
25th anniversary and extend to them sincere best wishes for 
continued success; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the company as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.

                                                                          Madden
