         WHEREAS, Robert Recio and his family are reopening their
  popular Corpus Christi restaurant, Recio's Smokehouse and
  Catering, at a new location; and
         WHEREAS, At its former location on Kostoryz Road, this unique

  the smokehouse's new location on Old Brownsville Road, where they
  have also built an outdoor stage and dance floor in order to host
  live entertainment; and
         WHEREAS, Locally owned enterprises contribute greatly to the
  economic and cultural diversity of their communities, and the new
  location of Recio's Smokehouse and Catering promises to attract
  both old and new customers; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
  Legislature hereby commemorate the reopening of Recio's Smokehouse
  and Catering and extend sincere best wishes to Robert Recio and his
  family for continued success in their new location; and, be it
  further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for the restaurant as an expression of high regard by the
