  the opportunity to honor the members of the Texas Legislative Study
  Group for their essential contributions; and

  study all aspects of a bill before making a recommendation; and

  deputy director Devan Daniel, the LSG staff for the 88th Session
  includes Ed Martin, Maristel Aguilar, La'Dereka Christian, Brian
  Dusablon, Laticia Jeffers, Savannah Lee, Stefanie Page, Carl
  Schwartz, Drew Tonjes, Jade Tucker, and Nzingha Williams-Eugene;
  and
         WHEREAS, The members of the Texas Legislative Study Group

  outstanding work; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
  Legislature hereby commend the staff of the Texas Legislative Study
  Group and extend to the members sincere best wishes for the future;
  and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
