R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, A golden wedding anniversary is a momentous occasion 
for all couples, and February 18, 2006, marked that milestone for 
Emmett and Claudette Dixon of Mineola; and
	WHEREAS, Emmett Dixon and the former Claudette Milburn 
exchanged the vows of matrimony at the Houston home of Claudette's 
parents on that special day in 1956, and over the course of five 
decades they have nurtured an ever-deepening love and respect for 
one another; and
	WHEREAS, In building a relationship based on patience and 
understanding, this devoted couple were following the example of 
their own parents, Emmitt "Coot" Dixon and Odell Smiley Dixon of 
Mineola and Claude Milburn and Mildred Juergen Milburn of Houston; 
and
	WHEREAS, The union of Emmett and Claudette Dixon was blessed 
with the birth of three sons: Jerry Dixon, now a resident of 
Kingwood, Roger Dixon, who resides in Plano, and Tommy Dixon, now of 
Sachse; the joys of family life only strengthened the bonds between 
Emmett and Claudette, who were active in youth-group activities 
when their children were young as well as in the functions of their 
church community; and
	WHEREAS, With the passing years, the branches of this proud 
family tree have continued to spread; the children born to each of 
the Dixons' sons have allowed Emmett and Claudette to become doting 
grandparents who enjoy sharing their wisdom with another 
generation; and
	WHEREAS, This couple's commitment to each other is a 
continuing source of inspiration and joy to all those dear to them, 
and it is indeed a privilege to recognize their rich and enduring 
relationship; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commemorate the 50th 
wedding anniversary of Emmett and Claudette Dixon and congratulate 
them on this most auspicious event; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Dixon as an expression of high regard by 
the Texas House of Representatives.

                                                                          Hughes

	I certify that H.R. No. 263 was adopted by the House on May 
10, 2006, by a non-record vote.
