By:  Eissler                                                      H.R. No. 754



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, December 14, 2003, was indeed a special day for 
Linda Victoria Watts and Joshua Elvin Watts, for it marked the 
occasion of the birth of their adorable baby girl, Donna Victoria 
Watts; and
	WHEREAS, Although she entered this world at the Naval 
Hospital in Lemoore, California, Donna Victoria was born over Texas 
soil, as earth from the heart of Texas was placed under the delivery 
room bed, and Mrs. Watts also had a Texas flag hung from above in the 
delivery room; and
	WHEREAS, If not for the fact that both of her parents are in 
the U.S. Navy, Donna Victoria would have been born in Texas, and 
despite the geographical circumstances of her birth, she will 
undoubtedly add to her family's beloved Texas traditions and proud 
Lone Star heritage; and
	WHEREAS, Donna Victoria's birth has brought great joy to her 
Texas-born parents and grandparents, as well as to her many other 
relatives, and it is indeed fitting that this beautiful new 
addition to the Watts family be accorded honorary Lone Star 
citizenship; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate Linda Victoria and Joshua Elvin 
Watts on the birth of their daughter and officially recognize Donna 
Victoria Watts as an honorary Texan, with all the rights and 
privileges accorded those individuals native to the Lone Star 
State; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Donna Victoria Watts and her parents as formal 
documentation of her newfound status and as an expression of high 
regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
