R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Katy Trail Ice House in Dallas celebrated its
grand opening on April 20, 2011; and
WHEREAS, Situated along the Katy Trail pedestrian and bicycle

complemented by a large, tree-shaded back patio filled with picnic
tables, and waitstaff wear "Keep the Trail Weird" T-shirts; and
WHEREAS, In addition to its welcoming atmosphere, the Ice
House is distinguished by its 50 beers on tap and selection of
burgers and sandwiches, and it is quickly becoming a popular
hangout for everyone from joggers to business executives; and
WHEREAS, Locally owned restaurants such as the Katy Trail Ice
House enhance the cultural diversity of Texas communities, and it
is indeed a pleasure to honor this unique addition to the culinary
landscape of Dallas; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commemorate the grand
opening of the Katy Trail Ice House and extend to its owners and
staff sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
