SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 138

WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to recognize Juanita Gonzales on the occasion of her retirement from the Office of the Comptroller of Public Accounts on May 31, 2011, after 36 years of loyal service to the state; and

WHEREAS, Juanita Gonzales began her career with the state as the head cashier in the accounting office of Southwest Texas State University; and

WHEREAS, She joined the comptroller's office in 1983, in an era when the office used the key punch card system, and stacks of warrants were added with an adding machine; her previous experience helped her play a key role in the implementation of automated system processes; and

WHEREAS, Throughout her career with the state, Mrs. Gonzales handled her many responsibilities with exceptional efficiency and dedication; and

WHEREAS, She earned the admiration and respect of her colleagues, and her presence in the Office of the Comptroller of Public Accounts is truly missed; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend Juanita Gonzales for her many contributions to our state and extend to her best wishes for the retirement years ahead; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for her as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
