SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 233
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the members of the Limón family for their many
contributions to the Austin community; and
WHEREAS, José Limón migrated from Mexico in 1889 and
settled in Central Texas with his wife Bernavé to raise their 11
children; since then, the family has grown to around 5,000
members, and their influence is evident in many of the economic,
social, and political matters occurring in the Austin area; and
WHEREAS, Noted for their entrepreneurial expertise and
community activism to improve the lives of their neighbors, the
voices and livelihoods of Limón family members have helped to
create opportunities for countless Austinites to thrive; they
have played an integral role in the area for 135 years, and many
relatives still live in East Austin on or nearby their namesake
street, Calle Limón; and
WHEREAS, Each year, hundreds of Limónes gather for a family
reunion to celebrate their rich history and to honor their motto,
"Siempre Unidos", which has strengthened their family's bond for
more than six generations; and
WHEREAS, Exemplary citizens who hold in high regard the
traditional values and family heritage they share, the members of
the Limón family have contributed greatly to Austin and to the
Lone Star State through their leadership, their civic
engagement, and their spirit of resilience, and it is truly
fitting that the family receive special recognition for all they
have done to benefit their community; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th
Legislature, hereby commend the members of the Limón family for
their indominable spirit and the prominent role they have played
in Austin and extend to them best wishes for the future; and, be
it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
the family as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
