Mr. Wright is competing for the second consecutive year on the hit |

|
performer before returning to impress the Idol judges once again; |

|
tried out for Idol, he had started writing his own songs, and he |
|
auditioned with a memorable performance of an original, "Dark Side |
|
of Me"; and |
|
WHEREAS, Savion Wright has won the hearts of millions of |
|
television viewers across the nation, and he stands on the |

|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|

|
wishes for continued success; and, be it further |
