	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 367
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	recognize Sergio Alberto Tinoco for his commitment to public
	service and his success in the face of great adversity; and
	WHEREAS, Sergio Tinoco was born in Pharr, Texas, while his
	mother, a resident of Reynosa, Mexico, was visiting her parents;
	he spent his early years with his mother in Reynosa, and at
	the age of six, he moved to his grandparents' home in Weslaco,
	Texas; and
	WHEREAS, Sergio began working as a migrant farmworker at
	the young age of seven; by the age of 17, he was balancing his
	academics and two jobs during high school, yet he graduated in
	the top 10 percent of his class; and
	WHEREAS, Determined to break a family cycle of poverty and
	migrant work, Sergio joined the United States Army; he served in
	Bosnia-Herzegovina in the aftermath of the Bosnian War and earned
	numerous commendations, and he retired after 10 years of
	distinguished service; he went on to have a successful career as
	a United States Border Patrol agent, and during his tenure, he
	has carried out his duties in the face of numerous challenging
	and dangerous circumstances; and
	WHEREAS, Sergio has shared his story of perseverance in his
	award-winning book, Proud American: The Migrant, Soldier, and
	Agent; the compelling memoir chronicles his journey from a young,
	first-generation American struggling to learn English to a proud
	patriot who built a life of purpose and who found success in spite
	of a difficult background; and
	WHEREAS, Sergio Tinoco is a beloved husband and father and
	a cherished member of his community; he exemplifies the highest
	ideals of public service, and his strength and resilience will
	continue to inspire others long into the future; now, therefore,
	be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
	Legislature, hereby commend Sergio Alberto Tinoco on his many
	accomplishments and congratulate him on the exceptional success
	of his memoir; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
	him as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.

	Lucio
