RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th Legislature, hereby commend SouthStar Communities on its development of Vintage Oaks and on the firm's contributions to our dedicated servicemen and servicewomen and extend best wishes to all involved in the creation of the Timber Ridge Park and Veteran's Walk; and, be it further
