H.R. No. 164

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Locally owned restaurants add to the diversity and
flavor of Texas towns and cities, and Madres' Cocina restaurant in
Forney has celebrated 15 years of contributing to its community;
and
WHEREAS, After learning their trade at the Tex-Mex restaurant
Viva, Sheri and Billy Garza fulfilled their long-held dream of
starting their own restaurant when they opened Madres' Cocina 15
years ago; and
WHEREAS, This welcoming, family-owned establishment has
since become a favorite gathering spot for area residents; the
restaurant received a four-star rating from the local newspaper in
2008, and in 2009, it was rated one of the top 10 restaurants in
Forney; and
WHEREAS, In the late summer of 2012, Madres' Cocina
celebrated its 15th anniversary with a festive week of events
benefiting cancer survivors, including a race car raffle and a
tamale eating contest; and
WHEREAS, The well-being of the people of Texas depends on a
vibrant economy, and independent businesses that are engaged with
their communities are to be commended for the vital role they play
in the prosperity and cultural richness of the Lone Star State; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Madres' Cocina on its 15th
anniversary and extend to the Garzas and their staff sincere best
wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Garza as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
Gooden
