  Department is being presented with a Star of Texas Award on
  September 10, 2021, at a ceremony in Austin; and
         WHEREAS, Established by the 78th Texas Legislature in 2003,
  the Star of Texas Awards annually recognize first responders who
  have been seriously injured or killed in the line of duty;
  recipients are selected by three advisory committees appointed by
  the governor; and
         WHEREAS, Nicholas Granados, a firefighter and paramedic with
  Dallas Fire-Rescue, was responding to a medical emergency in the
  early morning hours of February 10, 2019, when a truck collided with

  died, while Mr. Granados and a fellow paramedic, the driver of the
  ambulance, were rescued from the wreckage; and
         WHEREAS, Mr. Granados suffered from multiple injuries,
  including a collapsed lung, a fractured rib, and a number of
  lacerations, contusions, and abrasions; throughout his recovery,
  he has drawn great strength from the support and encouragement of
  his family, friends, colleagues, and other well-wishers; and
         WHEREAS, Texans owe an immense debt of gratitude to the men
  and women of the law enforcement profession who willingly place
  themselves in harm's way to protect and serve the public, and
  Officer Nicholas Granados's courage and dedication make him truly
  deserving of special commendation; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
  Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby honor Nicholas Granados on
  his receipt of a 2021 Star of Texas Award and extend to him sincere
  best wishes for the future; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
