R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, For more than two decades, Aguilar's Meat Market and 
the Aguilar family have rendered outstanding public service to the 
people of Edinburg; and
	WHEREAS, The market was opened in October 1983 by Irineo 
"Eddie" Aguilar, Sr., with the whole-hearted support of his wife, 
Elida, and their young family; Mr. Aguilar passed away in 1992, and 
the market is now directed by his son and daughter, Eddie Aguilar, 
Jr., and Irma Aguilar, with the assistance of other immediate 
family members and an array of nieces and nephews; and
	WHEREAS, Carefully trained by Eddie Aguilar, Sr., in all 
aspects of the business, those who guide the market today have 
continued both the founder's emphasis on customer service and his 
vigorous support of projects and programs intended for the 
betterment of Edinburg and its citizens; from the earliest days of 
the market, the Aguilars have sought out, in particular, 
opportunities to support the development of the community's youth; 
and
	WHEREAS, Aguilar's Meat Market has partnered with school 
vocational programs and other organized efforts designed to help 
youth become responsible, productive citizens; some youth who began 
working at the market through their involvement in those programs 
have stayed with the business and are now playing an active role in 
its management, while others have gone on to build successful 
careers in a variety of other fields; and
	WHEREAS, Representative Aaron Pena has justly recognized 
Aguilar's Meat Market and the Aguilar family for the part they have 
played in promoting the welfare of Edinburg by authoring this 
resolution in their behalf during the Regular Session of the 79th 
Texas Legislature; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby honor Aguilar's Meat Market and the Aguilar 
family for their significant contributions to the community of 
Edinburg and extend to them sincere best wishes for continued 
success; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Aguilar's Meat Market and the Aguilar family as an 
expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
