R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, ERO Architects of McAllen has much to celebrate as
  the firm has earned a number of notable commendations; and
         WHEREAS, ERO and its chief executive officer, Eli Ochoa, were
  named one of the Top Five Small Businesses for 2010 by the McAllen
  Chamber of Commerce; and
         WHEREAS, Also in 2010, ERO Architects was selected to receive
  the prestigious State of Texas Small Business Award from the Office
  of the Governor; the company was singled out in the categories of
  Business Skills and Model for Business Skills Use; and
         WHEREAS, Yet another honor is being realized in May 2011,
  when ERO's chief designer, Manuel Hinojosa, is being inducted into
  the American Institute of Architects College of Fellows; this
  distinction is bestowed on only three percent of the organization's
  members, and Mr. Hinojosa is just the third architect from the Lower
  Rio Grande Valley AIA chapter to be so named in the past 60 years;
  and
         WHEREAS, The strength of our state's economy is greatly
  influenced by the vision and ingenuity of exceptional small
  businesses such as ERO Architects, and the firm's officers and
  staff may take justifiable pride in their accomplishments; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate Eli Ochoa, Manuel Hinojosa, and the
  other members of the ERO Architects team on their recent
  recognitions 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 company as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
