	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 189
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	join Houstonians and Texans across the state in celebrating
	February 18, 2015, as Indo-Americans of Greater Houston Day in
	Austin; and

	WHEREAS, The Greater Houston area is home to more than 100,000
	people of Indian ancestry; this diverse community represents a wide
	range of languages, religions, and demographics, but it is united by
	the common bond of culture and ancestry; and

	WHEREAS, Indian Americans are among the most accomplished
	and prosperous immigrant groups in the country; their median
	household income is the highest of any ethnic group, and more
	than 70 percent have earned a college degree; and

	WHEREAS, Indian Americans in the Houston area are represented
	by a number of dedicated organizations, notably the Indo-American
	Political Action Committee, the Indo-American Chamber of Commerce,
	the India Culture Center, the Indo-American Charity Foundation, and
	India House; and

	WHEREAS, Indian Americans play a significant role in the
	economic, educational, and cultural life of our state and nation;
	it is truly fitting that they receive special recognition for
	their many achievements; now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
	Legislature, hereby welcome to the State Capitol the Indian American
	delegation from Houston and extend to its members best wishes for a
	productive and successful Indo-Americans of Greater Houston Day
	in Austin; and, be it further

	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
	honor of this special occasion.

	Garcia
