In memory of Steven Michael Mott of Del Rio.
The resolution does not enact or modify any state law but instead serves as a formal acknowledgment of Mott's influence and presence in his community. By honoring his memory, it seeks to bring attention to the values of family, community engagement, and personal relationships that he exemplified. This act serves to remember those who contribute positively to the lives of others and the local community.
House Resolution 491 serves as a tribute to the life of Steven Michael Mott, who passed away on December 24, 2008, at the age of 50. The resolution highlights Mott's contributions to the Del Rio community and his cherished relationships with family and friends. It emphasizes his dedication as a family man, his enjoyment of various activities such as deep-sea fishing and golf, and his involvement in local organizations, including the American Red Cross and the Elks Lodge.
While the resolution reflects a consensus regarding the recognition of individual contributions to society, points of contention may arise in the discussion of how such tributes fit into the larger legislative agenda. Critics may argue that resolutions such as HR491, while well-intentioned, do not address pressing legislative matters or issues affecting the state. However, supporters contend that acknowledging personal stories humanizes the legislative process and fosters community spirit among members.
