H.R. No. 42
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Glenn Family Dental Clinic in Galveston is
continuing its proud tradition of service to the community under
the leadership of a new owner, Dr. Gilberto Garcia Jr.; and
WHEREAS, For many years, Glenn Family Dental Clinic was owned
and operated by Dr. William L. Glenn with assistance from his wife,
Paula Glenn; two years ago, as the couple were setting their sights
on retirement, a longtime colleague of Dr. Glenn recommended that
he consider bringing Dr. Garcia, a promising new dental school
graduate, into the practice; since then, Dr. Garcia has worked at
the clinic under the tutelage of Dr. Glenn, who will continue
practicing on a part-time basis; and
WHEREAS, A native of Rio Grande City, Gilberto Garcia
graduated summa cum laude from The University of Texas-Pan American
with a degree in biology before earning his doctor of dental surgery
degree from the UTHealth Houston School of Dentistry; he remained
at UTHealth as he completed his general practice residency and
acquired additional experience while volunteering there as a
clinical assistant professor; during this time, he also worked
part-time at a Houston dental office; since relocating to Galveston
to join the staff of Glenn Family Dental Clinic, he has impressed
Dr. Glenn with his strong work ethic, his deep concern for the
clinic's patients, and his knowledge of the latest dental
procedures and techniques; and
WHEREAS, Glenn Family Dental Clinic has long been a valuable
resource to the Galveston community, and its legacy of
compassionate service is in good hands with the transfer of
ownership to Dr. Gilberto Garcia Jr.; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Dr. Gilberto Garcia Jr. on
becoming the new owner of Glenn Family Dental Clinic and extend to
him sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Dr. Garcia as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
