	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 428
	WHEREAS, Every day across the Lone Star State, parents and
	family members of individuals with intellectual disabilities
	provide their children with attentive care and serve as effective
	advocates in their behalf; and

	WHEREAS, Over the years, parents have fought vigorously
	for improved state schools, state centers, special education
	programs, and community mental health centers, and they have been
	involved in promoting, preserving, and expanding services for
	Texans with intellectual disabilities; and

	WHEREAS, These concerned caregivers have also joined
	together to convey the viewpoints of families and guardians to
	the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services, the Texas
	Legislature, and the United States Congress, with the goal of
	maintaining standards for quality care and addressing such issues
	as fiscal responsibility and the needs of special populations; and

	WHEREAS, The personal and political efforts of the parents
	of individuals with intellectual disabilities have been vital to
	the well-being of countless Texas residents, and these loving,
	dedicated, and hardworking parents are truly worthy of special
	recognition for their notable accomplishments; now, therefore,
	be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
	Legislature, hereby commend the parents and family members of
	individuals with intellectual disabilities and extend to them
	sincere best wishes for continued success in their important work.

	Nichols
