WHEREAS, Independent businesses are important to the |
|
|
prosperity of cities throughout Texas, and one such business, |
|
|
Julio's Seasoning & Corn Chips, has contributed to the vitality and |
|
|
economic well-being of the Del Rio community for four decades; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Julio's Seasoning & Corn Chips was founded in 1985 |
|
|
by Julio T. Garcia; the former head chef of the Branding Iron Steak |
|
|
House, Mr. Garcia began making corn tortilla chips while helping |
|
|
his wife, Lilia, with her catering business; he and his children |
|
|
initially made and sold chips out of the family kitchen in Del Rio, |
|
|
and as their customer base grew through word of mouth, they set up a |
|
|
makeshift commercial kitchen in the garage; the company |
|
|
subsequently built a 5,500-square-foot manufacturing plant and |
|
|
restaurant, and it further expanded its capacity in 2019 with the |
|
|
construction of another 33,000-square-foot facility; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Remaining a family-owned company under the |
|
|
leadership of Mr. Garcia's son, Miguel, Julio's Seasoning & Corn |
|
|
Chips has developed into a flourishing business with some 90 |
|
|
employees and nationwide distribution; it is best known for its |
|
|
seasoned corn chips, which gain their distinctive Tex-Mex flavor |
|
|
from a secret seasoning blend created by Julio Garcia, and its line |
|
|
of products also includes other seasonings and salsas; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Providing jobs and valuable services to the region, |
|
|
Julio's Seasoning & Corn Chips is a Lone Star success story, and the |
|
|
Garcia family and their employees may indeed take pride in their |
|
|
achievements over the years; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |

|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
