R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Through their heroism, nine-year-old Brandon Denson 
and five-year-old Cassie Denson of San Antonio helped to avert a 
terrible tragedy and saved the life of their father; and
	WHEREAS, On April 23, 2005, Tony Denson was performing a 
routine brake repair and oil change on his car when he accidentally 
knocked over the jack supporting the elevated automobile; suddenly 
trapped beneath the heavy vehicle, he called to his son for help; 
and
	WHEREAS, After attempting to lift the car himself, young 
Brandon cried out for help, gaining the attention of Lupe Preston, 
the Densons' neighbor; Ms. Preston instructed Brandon and his 
sister Cassie to seek help while she called 9-1-1; the children 
quickly enlisted the assistance of several neighbors who were able 
to lift the car long enough for Mr. Denson to escape; and
	WHEREAS, In recognition of their swift response to a crisis, 
the Denson children were honored by their respective scouting 
troops; Brandon, a member of Webelos Pack No. 333, received the Boy 
Scout Heroism Award, and Cassie, a Girl Scout Daisy and member of 
Troop No. 3330, was awarded the Girl Scout Medal of Honor; and
	WHEREAS, Displaying fortitude that belies their years, 
Brandon and Cassie Denson, along with the help of their neighbors, 
were able to save their father and provide a happy outcome to this 
critical situation; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby commend Brandon and Cassie Denson for their 
lifesaving actions and extend to these admirable young Texans 
sincere best wishes for continued happiness; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the Densons as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
