H.R. No. 1443



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Those Texans who act quickly and appropriately in 
emergencies are truly deserving of our admiration and gratitude, 
and Selena Renee Solis of El Paso is one such individual; and
	WHEREAS, This resourceful five-year-old's courage became 
apparent when her mother suffered a seizure and lost consciousness 
while driving Selena and her two-week-old brother on Transmountain 
Road; and
	WHEREAS, Bereft of a driver, the car veered off the road, 
jumping the curb and crashing through two yards before colliding 
with a rock wall; and
	WHEREAS, Realizing that her only escape from the car was 
through the window, Selena crawled to safety and ran to a nearby 
home to get help, and her rapid response ensured that her mother and 
brother received immediate medical attention, averting a terrible 
tragedy that could have claimed both of their lives; and
	WHEREAS, In acting as she did, Selena Solis distinguished 
herself as a remarkable member of the community and earned 
recognition from the El Paso Area Chapter of the American Red Cross; 
now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby honor Selena Renee Solis for her heroism and 
extend to her sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Selena Solis as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.

                                                                          Chavez
