grandchildren, traveling by motor home, and tending his cattle; and | ||
WHEREAS, Locally owned and operated businesses play an | ||
important role in the economic well-being of towns throughout | ||
Texas, and Randal Clayton may take great pride in the contributions | ||
that First State Bank of Ben Wheeler has made to the communities it | ||
serves; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
