  2008, helped save a toddler from near drowning; and
         WHEREAS, Mr. Chavez and his friend, Shaun Patrick Mulligan,
  both juniors at Cedar Park High School, were walking outside Mr.
  Mulligan's apartment complex when they heard shouts coming from the
  pool area; they rushed to the scene, where a lifeless child was
  being pulled out of the water; and
         WHEREAS, An Eagle Scout who was recently recertified in CPR,
  Mr. Chavez immediately offered his assistance; meanwhile, Mr.

  pulse had returned; and

  skill, composure, and speed, and thanks in part to his heroic
  efforts, a tragedy was successfully averted; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas

  saving a toddler from near drowning and extend to him sincere best
  wishes for the future; and, be it further
