WHEREAS, Judge Alicia Pena Perez is preparing to step down |
|
|
from her post as a municipal court judge for the City of Freer, and |
|
|
this occasion provides a fitting opportunity to pay tribute to her |
|
|
quarter-century of distinguished service in that position; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A lifelong area resident, Ms. Perez was one of nine |
|
|
children born to Andres and Seferina Pena and attended school in |
|
|
Freer, receiving her diploma in 1965; she was hired by Jimson's |
|
|
Department Store soon after graduation and quickly became the |
|
|
store's manager, remaining in that position for a decade; she later |
|
|
drew on her retail expertise at A&W Fashion Store and also worked at |
|
|
Freer Insurance; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Alicia Perez began her tenure as a municipal court |
|
|
judge in 1982 and has capably presided in that capacity in the years |
|
|
since; her duties include the handling of school truancy cases, and |
|
|
Judge Perez has taken great satisfaction from this part of her job; |
|
|
the close relationships she has forged with the children who have |
|
|
come before her have allowed her to be a constructive force in their |
|
|
lives, and her wise intervention has helped to keep them focused on |
|
|
their educational needs; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In addition to her professional career, Ms. Perez |
|
|
devotes extensive time to her family, which includes her husband, |
|
|
Baldemar Perez, Sr., her children, Jamie and Baldemar Perez, Jr., |
|
|
and her two grandchildren; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Judge Perez officially retired as municipal judge on |
|
|
December 2, 2006, but has remained on the job on a part-time basis |
|
|
until a replacement can be hired; as her decades of dedicated |
|
|
service come to a close, she may reflect with pride on her extensive |
|
|
achievements at the municipal court and take satisfaction from the |
|
|
many ways that she has benefited the citizens of Freer; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby honor Judge Alicia Pena Perez for her |
|
|
accomplished career as a municipal court judge for the City of Freer |
|
|
and extend to her best wishes for happiness and success in her |
|
|
future endeavors; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Judge Perez as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
