R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Yolanda DeLeon, the outgoing county and district 
attorney of Cameron County, is most deserving of special 
recognition for her achievements during her outstanding eight-year 
term in those positions; and
	WHEREAS, Because of Cameron County's proximity to Mexico, the

with issues that transcend national borders, and time and again Ms. 
DeLeon proved herself equal to the task of prosecuting complex 
cases with international ramifications; and
	WHEREAS, Highly esteemed by her professional peers, Ms. 
DeLeon lent her extensive experience to the Southwest Border High 
Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Executive Board, serving as both 
chairperson and vice chair of the group's South Texas Executive 
Committee, and her integrity and diligence were reflected in her 
evenhanded exercise of her office's power; and
	WHEREAS, Those Texans who dedicate themselves to the public 
good are truly deserving of the gratitude of their fellow citizens, 
and Yolanda DeLeon is without question a member of this elite group; 
now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby honor Yolanda DeLeon for her service as county 
and district attorney of Cameron County and hereby extend to her 
sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Ms. DeLeon as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
