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 Licon Dairy of El
Paso County has built a well-deserved reputation for excellence
over more than 50 years in the community; and
WHEREAS, The company began in 1948 as a small operation, with
founders Soltero and Isabella Martinez producing a few packages of
Mexican-style string cheese daily and selling them door to door;
their daughter, Maria, married Eugenio Licon, and in 1963 the
couple took over the family business; Licon Dairy became especially
well known for its asadero cheese, which remains a popular and
sought-after item today; eventually the facility expanded to
include a pond and petting zoo, and it continues to frequently
welcome groups from day cares and schools; and
WHEREAS, Currently, the company is owned by Eugenio Licon Jr.
and his wife, Sandra, with their son, Angel, also playing an active
role; they have modernized to make their products available to
customers nationwide while still retaining a strong local following
and the unique quality of their family recipes; and
WHEREAS, After more than half a century, Licon Dairy holds a
special place in the life of the community, and all those associated
with the enterprise may take pride in its achievements; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize Licon Dairy of El Paso County for its
many years of service and extend to the company's ownership and
staff sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the business as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
