SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 35
         WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
  recognize Byrne Construction Services on the centennial of the
  company's founding; and
         WHEREAS, A veteran-owned minority business enterprise, Byrne
  Construction Services is a respected construction services firm
  that was founded as Thos. S. Byrne on July 17, 1923, in Fort Worth
  by the distinguished Thomas Sneed Byrne, a native Texan and an
  alumnus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and
         WHEREAS, Through 100 years of operation, Byrne Construction
  Services has made an indelible mark on the Texas landscape, shaping
  the skylines of major cities and contributing to the growth and
  development of communities through the company's commitment to the
  principles of excellence, quality, and service; and
         WHEREAS, The firm's first milestone project, Montgomery
  Ward's regional headquarters, was completed in 1928, and since that
  time, Byrne Construction Services has continued to exceed the
  expectations of its clients; the company has set high standards
  through its work on such architecturally significant and
  high-quality projects as the award-winning Kimbell Art Museum in
  Fort Worth, which the firm completed in 1972; and
         WHEREAS, In the mid-1990s, United States Army veteran John
  Avila Jr. acquired the firm and soon expanded its presence and
  influence across the state; he did this while fostering
  long-lasting relationships and a warm and welcoming atmosphere
  among the firm's employees and clients; and
         WHEREAS, Under his direction, the firm strengthened its
  portfolios in aviation construction, health care facilities,
  historic restorations, commercial and office buildings, education
  facilities, and in high-end residential structures with a
  pioneering focus on the use of new technology in construction; in
  2015, John assumed the role of chairman, and his sons, Matthew and
  Paul Avila, took over the leadership of the firm; they have since
  guided the firm to continued success and have upheld their father's
  legacy of innovation and superior craftsmanship; and
         WHEREAS, One of the largest construction services firms in
  the state, Byrne Construction Services rose from its humble
  beginnings to become a prosperous and highly regarded company
  that has built and beautified Texas communities for generations,
  and it is truly fitting that this exemplary business receive
  special recognition on the centennial of its founding; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
  Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby commend Byrne Construction
  Services on 100 years of operation and extend to the company's
  leadership and staff best wishes for the future; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for the
  firm as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
