H.R. No. 1250 |
|
||
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. | ||
