WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
join the staff, volunteers, and supporters of the Casa Navarro | ||
State Historic Site in celebrating the 218th anniversary of the | ||
birth of José Antonio Navarro; and | ||
WHEREAS, José Antonio Navarro was a prominent figure in the | ||
early history of Texas; he served as a representative in Texas | ||
legislatures under Mexico, the Republic of Texas, and the | ||
State of Texas, and he was a member of the committees that wrote | ||
the first two Texas constitutions in 1836 and 1845; he was one of | ||
only two native-born Texans to sign the Texas Declaration of | ||
Independence; and | ||
WHEREAS, In addition to his political work, Mr. Navarro was | ||
a successful rancher, merchant, and real estate investor; his | ||
restored adobe and limestone home is an exceptional example of | ||
early San Antonio domestic architecture and is the centerpiece of | ||
the Casa Navarro State Historic Site, which has been listed in | ||
the National Register of Historic Places; and | ||
WHEREAS, The celebration of José Antonio Navarro's | ||
birthday is being hosted by Friends of Casa Navarro on | ||
February 23, 2013; it is truly fitting that this seminal figure | ||
in Texas history be celebrated for his many contributions to the | ||
state's founding and its early success; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, | ||
83rd Legislature, hereby call on Texans to remember the legacy | ||
and many accomplishments of José Antonio Navarro and extend to | ||
the Friends of Casa Navarro best wishes for a memorable | ||
celebration; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
honor of this historic occasion. | ||
