R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Country music singer Mark Chesnutt is performing in
Austin on February 28, 2011, in conjunction with Golden Triangle
Days at the State Capitol, where residents from that area are
gathering to work together for the good of their region and the
State of Texas; and
WHEREAS, A fitting performer for this special occasion, Mark
Chesnutt was born and raised in Beaumont; he remained a Texas
resident even after attracting the attention of Nashville record
companies and being signed to a major label in 1989; and
WHEREAS, Over the course of the next few years, Mr. Chesnutt
became a major country star; the winner of the Country Music
Association Horizon Award in 1993, he has had four platinum albums
in his career and eight number one singles; his string of hits
includes "Brother Jukebox," "Blame It On Texas," "Almost Goodbye,"
and "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing," and he is known as one of the
industry's hardest working concert performers; and
WHEREAS, A native son who has never cut ties with the
community where he first learned to make music, Mark Chesnutt
continues to captivate audiences around the country, and he is a
welcome presence in Austin as his fellow Golden Triangle residents
celebrate their notable region of the Lone Star State; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby honor Mark Chesnutt on the occasion of Golden
Triangle Days at the State Capitol 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. Chesnutt as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
