R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, Members of the Burleson Area Chamber of Commerce are
  visiting the State Capitol on March 19, 2013, and this occasion
  provides a fitting opportunity to pay tribute to this outstanding
  organization and the city it serves; and
         WHEREAS, The Burleson Chamber traces its history to 1965,
  when 75 members of the Lions Club came together to discuss economic
  and industrial development and realized the need for a permanent
  organization; the chamber was officially founded on April 18 of the
  following year; and
         WHEREAS, In the years since, the Burleson Chamber has played
  a leading role in the life of the city, sponsoring ongoing events
  and programs to benefit local businesses, as well as supporting
  charity fund-raisers and other community initiatives to make
  Burleson an even better place to live, work, and play; and
         WHEREAS, One of the fastest growing cities in the Dallas/Fort
  Worth Metroplex, Burleson boasts a population of 38,000, with
  290,000 people living within a 10-mile radius; nearly 1,500 acres
  are available for economic expansion within the city limits, and
  the soon-to-be-completed Chisholm Trail Parkway and the redesign of
  Wilshire Boulevard will further enhance the city's transportation
  infrastructure; and
         WHEREAS, The Burleson Independent School District includes 3
  high schools, 2 middle schools, and 10 elementary schools, many of
  which have been rated as Recognized or Exemplary by the Texas
  Education Agency, and Burleson is also home to one of the leading
  private colleges in the state, Texas Wesleyan University, as well
  as Hill College, a dynamic community college; and
         WHEREAS, The two retail complexes at the north and south ends
  of the town make a comprehensive selection of goods and services
  available to shoppers, and Burleson's historic Old Town district
  offers residents and visitors alike opportunities for
  entertainment and dining in handsomely restored buildings that
  evoke the city's past; and
         WHEREAS, Members of the Burleson Area Chamber of Commerce
  have contributed greatly to the quality of life across their
  region, and they are indeed worthy of special recognition for their
  dedication to their hometown; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
  Legislature hereby honor the members of the Burleson Area Chamber
  of Commerce on the occasion of their visit to the State Capitol and
