SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1069 WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to recognize Dollie and Jesus Lucio of Brownsville for their exemplary success with English Motors, Incorporated; and WHEREAS, Dollie and Jesus began their entrepreneurial efforts in the automotive industry with the $500 they received as a wedding gift from Jesus's father; through astute trading and an eye for quality vehicles, they were able to successfully increase their original investment into enough capital to start a small inventory, and they rented their first location in 1989; and WHEREAS, They began with an inventory of only seven vehicles and a single-room building as headquarters; since then, their hard work has enabled them to enlarge the operation; they now own two locations, and their sound business practices and strong relationships with financial institutions have given them sufficient flexibility to offer expanded financing opportunities to their customers; and WHEREAS, Through the years, their children have also played an important role in the growth of the business; they have each contributed in various ways to its success and have made their parents very proud; and WHEREAS, Dollie and Jesus Lucio are truly deserving of recognition for their determination, their hard work, and their commitment to excellence; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd Legislature, hereby commend Dollie and Jesus Lucio on their outstanding efforts in establishing and building English Motors, Incorporated, and extend to them best wishes for continued success; and, be it further RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for them as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
