R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Family and friends were deeply saddened by the
  passing of Tiburcio Acosta of Marfa on February 10, 2007, but the
  memory of his accomplished life and the many happy times spent in
  his company may offer a measure of comfort in their time of loss;
  and
         WHEREAS, "Butch" Acosta was born on March 20, 1944, in Marfa;
  he attended Sul Ross State University and earned his master's
  degree in bilingual education; and
         WHEREAS, Mr. Acosta began his professional career during his
  junior year of college when he taught at St. Mary's School in Marfa;
  he later was a teacher in Presidio and served at Redford School for
  26 years, both as an instructor and as principal, and when the
  Redford school closed, he became a parent liaison in Marfa before he
  retired in 2004; and
         WHEREAS, Highly regarded by all who knew him, Butch Acosta
  was a loving husband, father, and grandfather, whose contributions
  to the youth of the Lone Star State will not soon be forgotten; he
  will be deeply missed, but he will always be remembered with the
  greatest respect and admiration; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas

  Acosta.
