H.R. No. 1266

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, An athlete, entrepreneur, and advocate for the
	children in his Houston community, Dan Pastorini has made
	significant contributions to the Lone Star State; and
	WHEREAS, Born in California, Dan Pastorini arrived in Texas
	in 1971 when he was chosen by the National Football League's Houston
	Oilers as the third overall draft pick; the Pro Bowl quarterback
	helped lead the team to two American Football Conference
	championship games and in doing so, ushered in the "Luv Ya Blue"
	years, when the Oilers captured the heart of the entire city; known
	as one of the toughest men in the league, Mr. Pastorini played
	through the pain of injuries that included a punctured lung and
	broken ribs; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Pastorini was traded to the Oakland Raiders
	following the 1979 season and also played for the Los Angeles Rams
	and Philadelphia Eagles; after retiring from the league in 1983, he
	found another outlet for his competitive spirit in drag racing,
	where he became an icon, beating some of the sport's best drivers;
	and
	WHEREAS, Inspired by his parents, restaurateurs who owned and
	operated Pastorini's Longhorn in Sonora, California, for 37 years,
	Mr. Pastorini decided to pursue his culinary interests and formed
	Dan Pastorini's Quality Foods; headquartered in Houston, the
	company sells a variety of products and seasonings; and
	WHEREAS, An ardent advocate for former NFL players, Mr.
	Pastorini is also involved with many local charities and serves as a
	board member of the Be An Angel organization, which works to improve
	the quality of life for children with multiple disabilities and
	profound deafness; and
	WHEREAS, Although Dan Pastorini was not born in the Lone Star
	State, Houston is proud to call him one of its own, and it is most
	fitting to extend honorary Texan status to this prominent member of
	the Houston community; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
	Legislature hereby officially recognize Dan Pastorini as an
	honorary Texan, with all the rights and privileges accorded those
	individuals native to the Lone Star State; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Dan Pastorini as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
