R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, April 25, 2002, will long be remembered as a special 
day by our esteemed colleague, State Representative Jose Menendez, 
and his wife, Nicole Newman-Menendez, for it marked the birth of 
their daughter, Victoria Elise Newman-Menendez; and
	WHEREAS, This adorable baby girl made her highly anticipated 
entry into the world at 1:36 p.m. and weighed eight pounds, six 
ounces, and measured 21 inches in length at her birth; and
	WHEREAS, Her loving parents have been capably assisted in 
caring for their new arrival by Victoria's older brother, Dominic 
Michael Newman-Menendez, who will undoubtedly take great pride and 
delight in sharing his worldly wisdom with his younger sister and 
guiding her through the many challenges of life; and
	WHEREAS, The birth of a child is always a blessed event, but 
such an occasion becomes even more joyous when it touches the life 
of a distinguished and highly regarded friend and the members of 
this chamber take great pleasure in officially announcing the birth 
of a fine new member of the Menendez family; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby officially welcome Victoria Elise 
Newman-Menendez as a new citizen of Texas and extend heartfelt 
congratulations to State Representative Jose Menendez and Nicole 
Newman-Menendez on the birth of their cherished daughter; and, be 
it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Victoria Elise Newman-Menendez and her parents as an 
expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
