SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 153
         WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
  recognize Beatriz Lavine, who is retiring from the Office of the
  Attorney General after a long and successful career as an
  attorney; and
         WHEREAS, A native of Matamoros, Mexico, Beatriz Lavine
  immigrated to the United States as a child; she attended South
  Texas College of Law in Houston as a single mother to three
  daughters, and she earned her degree in 1995; and
         WHEREAS, Beatriz began her career as an attorney in private
  practice specializing in civil, criminal, and immigration cases
  in Brownsville; she soon became a trusted legal expert, and she
  was proud to have settled two multimillion dollar cases; and
         WHEREAS, Led by her desire to serve the broader public, she
  joined the Office of the Attorney General in 2006; she served the
  agency as a full-time attorney for 10 years and served for four
  years as a temporary attorney through Goodwill Industries; and
         WHEREAS, During her impressive career in state service,
  she spent five years with the Brownsville office, five years with
  the Harlingen office, three and one-half years with the Laredo
  office, and six months at the Pharr office; she litigated more
  than 15,000 cases before judges in Cameron, Willacy, Hidalgo,
  Starr, Zapata, Webb, Jim Hogg, and La Salle Counties; and
         WHEREAS, Beatriz Lavine has exemplified the highest ideals
  of her profession throughout her career, and she has made a
  difference in the lives of many; she is esteemed by citizens and her
  colleagues, and her presence as an attorney with the Office of the
  Attorney General will be greatly missed; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th
  Legislature, hereby commend Beatriz Lavine on her outstanding
  career and her many contributions to the state and extend to her
  best wishes in all her future endeavors; and, be it further
