WHEREAS, The True King Band was formed on January 1, 1972, by | ||
Johnny Moa, who has continued to serve as its leader and manager | ||
ever since; in its early years, the group began building a fan base | ||
by touring throughout Texas as well as in Kansas, Oklahoma, and | ||

Ramos y Su Orquesta; and | ||
WHEREAS, Over the decades, the True King Band has produced a | ||
discography encompassing four studio albums and a greatest hits | ||
collection, which was released in commemoration of the act's 35th | ||
anniversary in 2007; that same year, the ensemble was inducted into | ||
the Tejano Roots Hall of Fame in Alice; and | ||
WHEREAS, For 45 years, Johnny Moa and the True King Band have | ||
entertained audiences across the Lone Star State and beyond, and | ||
this occasion presents a welcome opportunity to recognize the | ||
group's contributions to the rich musical heritage of Texas; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Johnny Moa and | ||
the True King Band on their 45th anniversary and extend to each | ||
member sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
