WHEREAS, Nicholas Granados of the Dallas Fire-Rescue
Department is being presented with a Star of Texas Award on

WHEREAS, Established by the 78th Texas Legislature in 2003,
the Star of Texas Awards annually recognize first responders who

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

his receipt of a 2021 Star of Texas Award and extend to him sincere
