decades; and | ||
WHEREAS, A native of Laredo, Mr. Medina earned his bachelor's | ||
degree in civil engineering from The University of Texas at Austin | ||
in 1986, but he began his career with TxDOT while he was still a | ||
student, working five summers in the Laredo area office; after his | ||
graduation, he joined the agency full-time and worked with the | ||
design division until 2002, when he became a manager in the | ||
consultant contract office; he went on to serve as multimodal | ||
section director in the transportation planning and programming | ||
division, working on railroad planning and safety, pedestrian and | ||
bicycle planning, and state sponsorship of the Gulf Intracoastal | ||
Waterway; and | ||
WHEREAS, In 2006, Mr. Medina became the district engineer in | ||
Laredo, where he was responsible for a variety of transportation | ||
projects in an eight-county area, including the initiation of the | ||
US 83-SH 359 interchange, the completion of the Cuatro Vientos | ||
project, and the expansion of Loop 20; he has served as district | ||
engineer for the 12-county San Antonio district since 2008, and | ||
during his exemplary tenure in that post, he has worked with local | ||
stakeholders to complete the Loop 410 expansion, helped finalize | ||
the Wurzbach Parkway, and helped to develop a plan for a toll road, | ||
as well as played an instrumental role in numerous other projects; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Throughout his career, Mr. Medina has enjoyed the | ||
love and support of his wife, Janet, and his children, Gray, Derek, | ||
and Marisa; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mario Medina's dedication, professionalism, and | ||
commitment to the ideals and mission of TxDOT have greatly | ||
benefited the people of Texas, and he may indeed reflect with pride | ||
on a career well spent as he embarks on the next exciting chapter of | ||
his life; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Mario G. | ||

Transportation and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued | ||
success and happiness; and, be it further | ||
