	H.R. No. 1007



	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, Maria Pearson has made a positive difference in the
	lives of area children in need by serving as a Court Appointed
	Special Advocate volunteer; and
	WHEREAS, CASA is a nonprofit organization that relies on
	trained volunteers to act as representatives for children who are
	removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect; through the
	program, advocates are assigned to gather information and make
	recommendations that assist judges in reaching decisions that serve
	the best interests of each child; and
	WHEREAS, The dedicated men and women of CASA provide children
	with a crucial voice in the often overburdened judicial and
	protective services systems and ensure that they receive the
	attention they need until they are placed in a permanent home; in
	many cases, advocates offer a rare source of stability to young
	people coping with a traumatic and uncertain time in their lives;
	and
	WHEREAS, The safety and well-being of children are of deep
	concern to all citizens, and by devoting considerable time and
	effort to fulfill a critical need in the community, Maria Pearson
	has set an admirable example to which others may aspire; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby commend Maria Pearson for serving as a Court
	Appointed Special Advocate volunteer and extend to this caring
	Texan sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Maria Pearson as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.

	González
