Legislature honors graduate

Summary#

H.R. No. 1533, “Congratulating Diego Narro on his graduation from the University of North Texas,” is a Texas House resolution, not a change to an existing law. It formally congratulates Narro and directs that an official copy be prepared for him. Its stated purpose is recognition; it does not promise any further result. The text says the House adopted it on June 2, 2025, by a non-record vote.

  • The resolution recognizes Narro’s May 9, 2025, graduation with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from the G. Brint Ryan College of Business at the University of North Texas.
  • It also recognizes his perseverance, support for his family, and interest in running.
  • It directs that an official copy be prepared for Narro as an expression of the House’s regard.
