                                                                  H.R. No. 2211



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Destiny's Child is one of the most popular female 
R&B groups in the entertainment industry today, and their 
extraordinary professional success is truly worthy of special 
recognition; and
	WHEREAS, The original members were nine years old when they 
first formed a group in Houston in 1990; they took their name from a 
passage in the book of Isaiah and developed an act centered around 
singing and rapping; adding a third member and landing an 
appearance on Star Search in 1992, these talented young women began 
performing at clubs in Houston and eventually landed lucrative 
spots opening for such established artists as SWV, Dru Hill, and 
Immature; and
	WHEREAS, The group's self-titled debut album was released in 
early 1998, and its lead single, "No No No," topped the R&B charts 
and sold more than a million copies; the following year, they 
followed up with their second album, The Writing's on the Wall, 
which entered the charts at number six and included such hits as 
"Say My Name" and "Jumpin' Jumpin'"; and
	WHEREAS, By the time their next album, Survivor, was released 
in 2001, Destiny's Child was the biggest female R&B act in the 
nation; today, the group's current members, Beyonce Knowles, Kelly 
Rowland, and Michelle Williams, continue to shine as undeniable 
talents of song and stage; and
	WHEREAS, The longevity of Destiny's Child speaks to the 
talent of the group's members, who have weathered several personnel 
changes without sacrificing their commitment to the music; with 
their lovely yet powerful singing voices, they have earned many 
admirers and fans, and it is a pleasure to recognize their 
outstanding achievements; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby commend the members of Destiny's Child for their 
accomplishments in the music industry 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 the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.

                                                                          Dutton

	I certify that H.R. No. 2211 was adopted by the House on May 
29, 2005, by a non-record vote.
