R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Matthew Lane Ragain of Boy Scouts of America Troop
  No. 157 in Lubbock has attained the rank of Eagle Scout, and this
  accomplishment truly merits special recognition; and

  building garden beds at Bayless Elementary School for use in
  classroom learning and the garden club; and
         WHEREAS, The son of Mike and Melanie Ragain, this fine young
  Texan has demonstrated outstanding leadership ability throughout
  his scouting career, winning the respect and admiration of his
  fellow troop members as he worked toward the highest rank that the
  organization offers; and
         WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Ragain's dedication to excellence and
  his perseverance in the pursuit of his goals have proven him worthy
  to stand among scouting's elite, and he may indeed reflect with
  pride on a job well done; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate Matthew Lane Ragain on achieving
  the rank of Eagle Scout and extend to him sincere best wishes for
  continued success and happiness; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
