H.R. No. 657
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, May 24, 2025, marks three years since the mass
shooting took place at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, an
incident that forever changed the lives of countless families and
left an indelible mark on the community; and
WHEREAS, That heartbreaking day saw the loss of 19 students
and 2 teachers, with 18 others suffering injuries; and
WHEREAS, On this solemn occasion, the Texas House of
Representatives stands in remembrance of the precious young
children whose lives were taken far too soon: Tess Marie Mata, age
10; Uziyah Sergio Garcia, age 10; Nevaeh Alyssa Bravo, age 10; Jose
Manuel Flores Jr., age 10; Eliahna Amyah Garcia, age 9; Amerie Jo
Garza, age 10; Xavier James Lopez, age 10; Jayce Carmelo Luevanos,
age 10; Jacklyn Jaylen Cazares, age 9; Alithia Haven Ramirez, age
10; Annabell Guadalupe Rodriguez, age 10; Maite Yuleana Rodriguez,
age 10; Layla Marie Salazar, age 11; Makenna Lee Elrod Seiler, age
10; Jaliah Nicole Silguero, age 10; Eliahna Torres, age 10; Rojelio
Fernandez Torres, age 10; Maranda Gail Mathis, age 11; and
Alexandria Aniyah "Lexi" Rubio, age 10; and
WHEREAS, It is also fitting to commemorate the loss of the two
courageous teachers, Eva Mireles, age 44, and Irma Linda Garcia,
age 48, whose extraordinary selflessness led them to prioritize the
safety of their students above all else; and
WHEREAS, No amount of time can fully ease the pain that has
followed in the wake of the incident, and the absence of these
beloved children and educators continues to be felt every single
day by their families, their friends, and the entire Uvalde
community; their lives, filled with dreams and potential, were cut
tragically short, and we honor their memories by celebrating the
impact they had on those around them; and
WHEREAS, The resilience of the Uvalde community in the face
of such unimaginable sorrow is a testament to the strength of those
who have come together to comfort and support one another; through
these efforts, residents are carrying forward the legacy of the
victims while striving for a world where no one must endure such a
tragedy again; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the lives of the 21 victims of the
mass shooting that took place at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde on
May 24, 2022, and extend deepest sympathy to all who mourn their
passing.
