Bill > HR1148

This resolution honors El Paso Desert ADAPT, a grassroots disability rights organization that has been active for over four decades, by recognizing its significant contributions to improving the lives of individuals with disabilities. The resolution highlights the organization's work in challenging institutional, architectural, and communication barriers that have historically prevented people with disabilities from fully participating in their communities. Specifically, El Paso Desert ADAPT, which is an affiliate of ADAPT of Texas and National ADAPT, has advocated for policies and laws promoting freedom and independence, and has helped secure important infrastructure improvements like accessible transit systems and sidewalks with curb cuts. The Texas House of Representatives officially commends the organization for its meaningful impact on Texans with disabilities and extends best wishes for its continued success, while also resolving to prepare an official copy of the resolution as an expression of high regard.
