R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Many Asian American residents of the Lone Star State
  are celebrating the joyous occasion of the Lunar New Year on January
  22, 2023; and
         WHEREAS, This special holiday marks the commencement of the
  Year of the Rabbit and ushers in the spring season, a new beginning,
  when the Asian community reflects on the past and makes plans for
  the future; and
         WHEREAS, The Lunar New Year, known as Tet in the Vietnamese
  community and as the Spring Festival in the Chinese community,
  begins on the first day of the first lunar month of the year; the
  exact date changes annually, falling between the end of January and
  the middle of February, but the festive spirit of the season remains
  constant; and
         WHEREAS, The eve of the holiday's three-day festival is spent
  cleaning houses, visiting ancestral graves, and preparing a
  ceremonial meal; the Lunar New Year traditionally serves as a time
  to reunite with family members, renew special friendships, and
  remember past experiences, in preparation for good things to come;
  and
         WHEREAS, The Asian community plays a vital role in the
  business, professional, and cultural life of Texas, and the Lunar
  New Year provides a fitting opportunity to recognize these fine
  citizens and to celebrate our common goals of peace and harmony for
  all humanity; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
  Legislature hereby commemorate the Lunar New Year on January 22,
  2023, and extend to all who are celebrating the holiday sincere best
  wishes for health and happiness in the coming year.
