recognize Omar Ochoa on the occasion of his graduation from The
University of Texas School of Law; and
WHEREAS, Over the course of his career at The University of

and
WHEREAS, Mr. Ochoa was a member of the team that won the

the university recognized by lighting the Tower orange with a
number one, a rare honor; he has been published in two law
journals, and he played an important role in the successful
efforts to add a student member to each Texas public university's
board of regents; and
WHEREAS, A high achiever, Mr. Ochoa establishes and
pursues his goals with perseverance and a clear vision of his
future; his notable accomplishments as a student bear witness to
his dedication and outstanding abilities; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
