H.R. No. 151

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Many Asian American residents of the Lone Star State
	are celebrating the joyous occasion of the Lunar New Year on
	February 5, 2019; and
	WHEREAS, This special holiday marks the commencement of the
	Year of the Pig and ushers in the spring season, a new beginning,
	when the Asian community reflects on the past and makes plans for
	the future; and
	WHEREAS, The pig is considered a symbol of wealth and good
	fortune; many in the Asian community believe that the Year of the
	Pig will be a time of prosperity and joy; and
	WHEREAS, The Lunar New Year, known as Tet in the Vietnamese
	community and as the Spring Festival in the Chinese community,
	begins on the first day of the first lunar month of the year; the
	exact date changes annually, falling between the end of January and
	the middle of February, but the festive spirit of the season remains
	constant; and
	WHEREAS, The eve of the holiday's three-day festival is spent
	cleaning houses, visiting ancestral graves, and preparing a
	ceremonial meal; the Lunar New Year traditionally serves as a time
	to reunite with family members, renew special friendships, and
	remember past experiences, in preparation for good things to come;
	and
	WHEREAS, The Asian community plays a vital role in the
	business, professional, and cultural life of Texas, and the Lunar
	New Year provides a fitting opportunity to recognize these fine
	citizens and to celebrate our common goals of peace and harmony for
	all humanity; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
	Legislature hereby commemorate the Lunar New Year on February 5,
	2019, and extend to all who are celebrating the holiday sincere best
	wishes for health and happiness in the coming year.
