	H.R. No. 256



	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, Jack Winton has been named one of the inaugural
	recipients of the Pioneer Award by the El Paso Association of
	Builders; and
	WHEREAS, Founded in 1946, the EPAB is affiliated with the
	National Association of Home Builders and the Texas Association of
	Builders; it established the Pioneer Award to recognize leaders in
	building or developing homes and those who have made important
	contributions to the local industry; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Winton came to El Paso from Clovis, New Mexico,
	in the 1970s as a partner in the development of the Santa Teresa
	Country Club project; after working with that high-profile venture,
	he went on to even greater success as a partner in Winton and
	Associates, which initially focused on the construction of high-end
	homes; the firm later began building a wider variety of houses and
	developed subdivisions on the West Side, in the Upper Valley, and in
	New Mexico; and
	WHEREAS, Today, Mr. Winton serves as chair of the Winton
	Group, one of El Paso's most prominent homebuilding companies; it
	constructed almost 300 homes in the past year and had revenues of
	approximately $50 million; in addition, he is the author of a new
	autobiography, The House That Jack Built: A Memoir; and
	WHEREAS, Jack Winton has made a lasting, positive impact in
	El Paso through his contributions to the business community, and
	his accomplishments are indeed worthy of special recognition; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
	Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Jack Winton on
	his receipt of a Pioneer Award from the El Paso Association of
	Builders and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued
	success; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Mr. Winton as an expression of high regard by the Texas
	House of Representatives.
