H.R. No. 64
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Locally owned and operated businesses play a vital
role in the prosperity of the Lone Star State, and those enterprises
that build a record of dependability and longevity hold a special
place of honor in their communities; and
WHEREAS, A local institution, Elvia's Beauty Shop has served
residents of Rio Grande City since 1967; the salon was founded by
Elvia Escobedo, a native of Mexico, who came to the United States in
1958; she graduated from Rio Grande City High School in 1966 and
went on to attend beauty school in Pharr; and
WHEREAS, Elvia's Beauty Shop thrived under her able guidance;
known for her dedication to her customers, Mrs. Escobedo once
remained on her feet to finish a client's hair just hours before
giving birth to her son; and
WHEREAS, Since Mrs. Escobedo's retirement in 2005, the shop
has been overseen by her children, Minerva "Endy" Reyna, a graduate
of Vogue Beauty School, and Jose Alberto Escobedo, a graduate of
Advanced Barber College; today, the salon's namesake enjoys
spending more time with her husband, Jose, and her five
grandchildren; and
WHEREAS, During the past 44 years, Elvia's Beauty Shop has
gained a loyal following, and the Escobedo family may take pride in
the vital role they continue to play in the life of Rio Grande City
and Starr County; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Elvia
Escobedo, founder of Elvia's Beauty Shop in Rio Grande City, on her
achievements as a successful business owner and extend to her
sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mrs. Escobedo as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
