	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 366
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	recognize Judge Migdalia Lopez, who retired on December 31, 2018,
	from the 197th District Court after 20 years of distinguished
	service; and
	WHEREAS, Judge Lopez started her career on the bench in
	1995, when she became the first Hispanic woman to preside over
	Cameron County Court-at-Law Number 2; she had previously served
	for nearly 10 years as a Cameron County assistant district
	attorney; and
	WHEREAS, On January 1, 1999, she was sworn in as judge of
	the 197th District Court, which serves Cameron and Willacy
	Counties; during her tenure, she was noted for her fairness and
	impartiality, her thorough knowledge of the law, and her passion
	for serving the public good; and
	WHEREAS, Judge Lopez has served on a number of boards and
	commissions, including the Texas Access for Justice Commission
	and the Texas Juvenile Probation Commission; she has been active
	in her community and has focused particularly on issues affecting
	children and education; she formerly served as a member of the
	board of trustees of the Harlingen Consolidated Independent
	School District; and
	WHEREAS, Judge Lopez was named the 1996 Hispanic Woman of
	the Year by the Valley Morning Star and was the recipient of the
	Ma'at Justice Award from Women and Law Section of the State Bar of
	Texas; it is truly fitting that she receive special recognition
	for the positive impact she has had on the justice system in South
	Texas; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
	Legislature, hereby commend Judge Migdalia Lopez on her
	exceptional service on the bench of the 197th District Court and
	extend to her best wishes for continued success in all her
	endeavors; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
	her as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.

	Lucio
