R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Anthony Reyes of Kountze has attained the rank of
  Eagle Scout, and this accomplishment truly merits special
  recognition; and
         WHEREAS, The Eagle Scout badge is a significant honor, one
  bestowed on only a small fraction of those who enter the scouting
  movement; in the course of meeting the rank's demanding criteria,
  Mr. Reyes, of Boy Scout Troop No. 88, earned the requisite 21 merit
  badges and completed an Eagle Scout project benefiting Southeast
  Texas law enforcement officers; for the latter endeavor, he
  constructed steel target stand holders in a concrete slab base at
  the firearms training facility of the Beaumont Police Department;
  the firing range is used not only by the department but also by the
  Federal Bureau of Investigation and other local agencies; and
         WHEREAS, Mr. Reyes is a homeschool student who enjoys playing
  chess, studying martial arts, and participating in outdoor
  activities; he is assistant lead altar server at Infant Jesus
  Catholic Church, where he plays bass guitar in the youth band and is
  a member of the youth group; he also assists Bishop Curtis J.
  Guillory, of the Diocese of Beaumont, as an episcopal altar server;
  and
         WHEREAS, The son of Joseph and Orfanery Reyes, 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 scouting offers; his future plans include serving his country
  in the U.S. Air Force and earning a degree in agriculture; and
         WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Reyes'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 Anthony Reyes 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
  prepared for Eagle Scout Reyes as an expression of high regard by
  the Texas House of Representatives.
