WHEREAS, Hausman Foods in Corpus Christi has long
distinguished itself through its significant contributions to the
local community; and
WHEREAS, This notable Texas company was founded in 1939 by
Sam Hausman; what began as a small family enterprise of four
employees, including Mr. Hausman's wife, Fannie, has since grown to
include a staff of some 120 workers across three local processing
facilities, and today the award-winning business provides a wide
range of meat products to customers around the globe; and
WHEREAS, After the passing of Mr. Hausman in 1958,
his son-in-law David Holliday assumed control of the business, and
in the late 1960s, he in turn handed over the reins to his sons Rick
and Steve, who served as president and vice president,
respectively, until retiring in 2005; the company has since
benefited from the able leadership of the
founder's great-grandchildren Amy Seward and Jerry Simpson; and
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 enjoy a special
degree of esteem in their communities; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby commend Hausman Foods on its many decades of
service to the Corpus Christi community and extend to the company's
ownership and staff sincere best wishes for the future; 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.
