H.R. No. 2079
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Gustavo Garza has distinguished himself in more ways
than one during his service to the Texas House of Representatives
during the 81st Legislative Session; and
WHEREAS, Working as a legislative aide for Representative
Eddie Rodriguez, Mr. Garza earned the nickname "El Cabrito," or
"The Goat," for his astonishing ability to eat anything and
everything that came into the office, and when there was nothing
left to eat therein, he exhibited a rare aptitude for scavenging
food from somewhere else; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Garza's social skills proved equally
remarkable; he never failed to show up early to a reception or late
to work, and in the course of getting to know every Capitol staffer,
he was extremely generous in giving away all of the office's
delicious cake; he likewise demonstrated an unerring ability to
order the most expensive item on a menu, as well as a remarkably
cultivated taste in $37 cocktails; and
WHEREAS, This remarkable young man's organizational skills
consisted in keeping his entire desk, his coworker's desk, and the
surrounding floor covered with his work; the desk itself, however,
could always be located, from every corner of the office, by the
smell of rotting food stashed in the drawers; and
WHEREAS, In spite of all of the above, however, Mr. Garza
demonstrated true dedication to his work and a genuine interest in
learning more about policy issues that were new to him; always
helpful, he happily did whatever was asked of him, and he proved
throughout the session to be a hard worker and a genuinely good guy;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby commend Gustavo Garza on his service as a
legislative aide in the office of Representative Eddie Rodriguez
and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued happiness and
the requisite success to afford $37 cocktails in the future; and, be
it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Garza as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
Rodriguez
