	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Residents of El Paso lost a beloved neighbor and
	friend with the passing of Artemisa Salinas on January 15, 2011, at
	the age of 78; and
	WHEREAS, "Arte" Salinas worked for more than two decades at
	H&H Car Wash and Coffee Shop, an award-winning eatery where she held
	the title of head waitress; infusing the local landmark with a smile
	and friendly banter, she took great joy in serving her regulars and
	such notable visitors as former first lady Laura Bush and The
	University of Texas at El Paso president Diana Natalicio; and
	WHEREAS, Ms. Salinas could be counted on to remember not only
	an order, but the personal details of her customers' lives, and she
	freely shared her wisdom and advice with those in need; and
	WHEREAS, Known for her strength, kindness, and good humor,
	Arte Salinas enjoyed a life that was rich in the intangibles that
	matter most, and she is deeply missed by those who held her dear;
	now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
	Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Artemisa "Arte"
	Salinas and extend deepest sympathy to her three children and to all
	those who mourn her passing; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of
	Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Artemisa
	Salinas.
