R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Locally owned restaurants add to the diversity and
  flavor of Texas towns and cities, and Madres' Cocina restaurant in
  Forney has celebrated 15 years of contributing to its community;
  and
         WHEREAS, After learning their trade at the Tex-Mex restaurant
  Viva, Sheri and Billy Garza fulfilled their long-held dream of
  starting their own restaurant when they opened Madres' Cocina 15
  years ago; and
         WHEREAS, This welcoming, family-owned establishment has
  since become a favorite gathering spot for area residents; the
  restaurant received a four-star rating from the local newspaper in
  2008, and in 2009, it was rated one of the top 10 restaurants in
  Forney; and
         WHEREAS, In the late summer of 2012, Madres' Cocina
  celebrated its 15th anniversary with a festive week of events
  benefiting cancer survivors, including a race car raffle and a
  tamale eating contest; and
         WHEREAS, The well-being of the people of Texas depends on a
  vibrant economy, and independent businesses that are engaged with
  their communities are to be commended for the vital role they play
  in the prosperity and cultural richness of the Lone Star State; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate Madres' Cocina on its 15th
  anniversary and extend to the Garzas and their staff sincere best
  wishes for continued success; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Garza as an expression of high regard by
  the Texas House of Representatives.
