	campuses; and
	WHEREAS, A devoted community steward, Jose was an active
	congregant of the Holy Family Church in Edinburg, where he served
	in several leadership positions; through his work with the church

	legislators, educate the public on issues facing the families of
	the Rio Grande Valley, and rally support for the region; he also
	volunteered to minister to the youth at the Hidalgo County
	Detention Center for 12 years; and
	WHEREAS, Jose Robledo was a true Texas gentleman and a
	tireless servant of the Edinburg community; he leaves behind
	memories that will long be cherished by all who were privileged
	to share in his life; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th

	condolences to the bereaved family of Jose Nieto Robledo; and, be
	it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
	his family as an expression of deepest sympathy from the Texas
	Senate and that when the Senate adjourns this day, it do so in
	memory of Jose Robledo.
