R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Emma Cullins Holland of Heath, daughter of Neely
  Holland and our esteemed colleague Justin Holland, added a curious
  footnote to the annals of the Texas Legislature on May 8, 2021, when
  she lost a tooth on the floor of the Texas House of Representatives;
  and
         WHEREAS, Emma is no stranger to the legislature, having
  previously been elected a mascot of the House of Representatives
  alongside her older sister, Wiley Beth Holland, in 2017; while she
  was visiting the statehouse on that special Saturday in May 2021,
  her fifth baby tooth fell out, making Emma the first individual (or
  at least the first individual on record) to lose a tooth in the
  chamber during a legislative session; and
         WHEREAS, The first grader, who attends Amy Parks-Heath
  Elementary School, is a seventh-generation resident of Rockwall
  County; an avid cheerleader and an award-winning hip-hop dancer,
  she enjoys singing along to Miranda Lambert and her other country
  music idols; and
         WHEREAS, For many youngsters, losing a baby tooth is a rite of
  passage, but this milestone will now hold an even more special
  memory for Emma Holland, and it is a pleasure to join in
  congratulating Ms. Holland on earning this unique distinction;
  now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize Emma Cullins Holland on being the
  first person to lose a tooth on the house floor during a legislative
  session and extend to her and the entire Holland family warmest best
  wishes for the future; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for the Holland family as an expression of high regard by
  the Texas House of Representatives.
