WHEREAS, Mr. Rios has further distinguished himself as a
student at Kingwood High School, where he has participated in

Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina, and pursue an active duty
commission in the U.S. Army; and

perseverance in the pursuit of his goals have proven him worthy to
stand among scouting's elite, and he may indeed reflect with pride
on a job well done; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
