exemplary service; and
WHEREAS, Even before joining the city council, Mr. Garza was
an active member of his community and launched a successful
campaign to redraw the district boundaries in Atascosa County;

still-life portraiture at San Antonio College, and he later became
part of Pleasanton High School's inaugural adult computer class; in
October 1975, this dedicated entrepreneur opened his own business,
Pleasanton Floral Photography and Tuxedos, which he still operates
from its original location; and
WHEREAS, In all of his endeavors, Mr. Garza enjoys the love
and support of his wife, Ann, and he takes great pride in their five
children; and
WHEREAS, Roger Garza has proven himself a civic leader of
great vision and ability, and he is indeed deserving of recognition
for his tireless efforts to make the Pleasanton area an even better
place to live and work; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby commend Roger Garza for his service on the
Pleasanton City Council and extend to him sincere best wishes for
the future; and, be it further
