H.R. No. 747

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Proud residents of San Diego, Texas, are visiting
Austin on March 8, 2017, to celebrate San Diego Day at the State
Capitol; and
WHEREAS, In the early 1800s, Julián Flores and his son
Ventura received two land grants from the Spanish government, and
in 1819, the Flores family authorized the founding of what became
known as Perezville; when a post office was established in 1852, the
town was renamed, and when Duval County was organized nearly 25
years later, San Diego was designated the county seat; and
WHEREAS, With the arrival of the Corpus Christi, San Diego,
and Rio Grande Railroad in 1879, and later the Texas-Mexican
Railway, San Diego proved to be an important agricultural shipping
center, particularly for wool and cotton; today, the local economy
is supported by small businesses, ranching and hunting, and the oil
industry, and growth has extended the city limits into Jim Wells
County; and
WHEREAS, San Diego is a general-rule city, ably led by its
elected officials, which include mayor Sally Lichtenberger, mayor
pro tempore Shelly Gaitan, and city council members Ricky Munoz,
Rolando T. Guerrero, Janie Lopez, and Margarito Maldonado III;
Aleida Luera currently serves as the city director; and
WHEREAS, The people of San Diego are building on a long
tradition of industry and achievement, and they may indeed be proud
of their notable contributions to the story of the Lone Star State;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize March 8, 2017, as San Diego Day at the
State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation sincere best
wishes for an informative and enjoyable stay in Austin.
