The invocation was offered by the Reverend Fernando Ricaud, chaplain, as follows:
Almighty God, you are the Lord and giver of life. On this Memorial Day, we thank you first for our lives, a gift we do not deserve but one which you bestow on us with great love.
We also thank you in a special way, Lord, for the many people that gave up their lives so that we could enjoy the gift of life more abundantly. In particular, we remember the many soldiers of our nation who laid down their lives to protect their loved ones and secure a better future for us.
Lord, you have revealed to us that there is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends. For the many courageous people who have loved us so, we thank you, Lord. We take a moment of silence to remember them in our hearts and to commend them to your mercy.
Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through your mercy rest in peace.
And finally, Lord, we commend to you our work here in the house of representatives, thanking you especially for those who day by day choose to lay down their lives by pursuing the common good, by choosing what is best not for them but for the people that they serve, even when it's hard, and even when it comes at great personal cost. For what does it profit someone to gain the whole world if they lose their soul? Lord, may we never be afraid to do what is right and good and perfect in your eyes. Help us not to be afraid to die to ourselves so that we may live for you and for our loved ones. Amen.
The chair recognized Representative Metcalf who led the house in the pledges of allegiance to the United States and Texas flags.

The chair recognized Representative Reynolds who addressed the house, speaking as follows:
Members, I know that took a long time, but it would not have happened if she would not have had a long tenure of exemplary service. She truly is the embodiment of Maya Angelou's Phenomenal Woman. She truly is someone whose shoulders we stand on, someone who's been a pioneer, a trailblazer, and someone who is unapologetic about her passion and advocacy, not just for her constituents but all Texans—for the underserved and for those who often don't have a voice. She walks softly and carries a big stick. She's probably going to kill me that I got nervous and butchered her name, but she really is the conscience of the house. She's known and respected and admired, not just in this body, not just in Texas, but as Toni reminded us, all over the country. There are people all over the country that marvel at how active she still is. She can run circles around a lot of freshmen members in this house at 50 years.
Ms. T, we want you to know we love you and we stand on your shoulders. We're truly grateful that God chose you to serve in the Texas House and that you never quit and that you never gave up. Through the ups and the downs, all the adversities, the trials, the tribulations, the persecutions, you always press forward. And I know there are many children, including my own—I have them here today because I wanted them to see and witness what women could achieve by breaking glass ceilings, never giving up, and never giving in. Even though during that time in 1973 when you came in, it was rough. That was the year that I was born. And I know that we've come a long way, and we owe a lot of it because of the fight and tenacity of you. And we owe an extra special gratitude to you for being one of the eight founders of the Texas Legislative Black Caucus. Thank you so much.
She didn't know about this today. Sometimes they say it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission. So Ms. T, I hope you will forgive me for this indulgence. All of our caucus and all of the members really wanted to give you your flowers while you can smell them. Because far too often, we wait until people are dead and gone before we let them know how much we appreciated them. But no more. We are letting you know right now that we love you and that we appreciate you. This Texas House of Representatives is better because of your 50 years of exemplary service. Thank you.
HR 2185 was adopted.
On motion of Representatives Craddick, Dutton, and Rose, the names of all the members of the house were added to HR 2185 as signers thereof.
Representative Craddick addressed the house, speaking as follows:
Fifty years is a short period of time. I've got 54. I told her she needs to kind of move along here. This is a wonderful activity you did—you did it for me four years ago, and I appreciated it. In 1989 ,you remember the whole thing we did, and we talked about it a lot of times, and a lot of people have given us pictures that they took, which is a lot of fun.
Senfronia and I are really close friends. I've told this story, but kind of where Representative Gates is standing, I sat there, and she sat in this front chair. One session, I think it was her first session, she wandered back there one day and she said, "You know anything about the oil and gas business?" I said, "Oh, a little bit." And she said, "Well, I'm going to court this afternoon to defend somebody on an oil and gas bill, and I don't know anything about it." She dumps all this stuff on my desk and says, "Could you write what I'm supposed to say?" So about 2:30 or 3 p.m. she comes back and says, "Well, we won." That's how we got to be good friends. But she wanted me to do them from then on, and I'm not an attorney, so I didn't.
She's been great to work with, and it's fun both being deans of the house. I think mainly it's a relationship, and I think that's what the house is all about. Whether you're a democrat or a republican, conservative or liberal, it all comes down to most everybody in here are friends. Everybody has a disagreement now or then. I've been known to have one or two. But it's all about friendship and respect for each other, and I have 100 percent respect for Senfronia. I think most people do. When she gets up here, it gets quiet in the house, and people listen because of respect. Thank you all for doing this for her, and thank you for doing it for me several years ago. And Senfronia, God bless you. I hope that we both continue to add years to our knowledge of what we're doing. Thank you very much.
Representative J. Jones addressed the house, speaking as follows:
Ms. T, I had to get up here and say something. As a freshman legislator, you've been invaluable to me, just helping me navigate things. But even before I came to this body—when I was on the city council and when I was on the school board, I could always call you and talk to you and help figure things out. As a criminal defense lawyer, I'll just say this: The Michael Morton Act changed the game for criminal defense where at least the defense knew what the state had so we could try to have a fair fight in trial. The things that you've done as a legislator are super important to Texas and to humanity. I hope to be able to learn from you continually. I hope that I know these rules as good as you do before this is over because it was brilliant to watch you just shut things down while the rest of us are like, "What rule is that? How did she do that?" It's just beautiful to watch, and I'm just really thankful that I got elected before your time here ended so that I could learn from you and you could be a mentor to me. And I also want to thank you because we are sorority sisters. To Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, you represent us well as well.
Representative Manuel addressed the house, speaking as follows:
I'll keep it short. I just want to say Ms T—she is more than just an amazing legislator, she is an amazing person. She always goes out of her way to make sure that everyone knows what they're doing. She's always a knowledgeable book that you can never get enough from. I just want to thank you for always being there for Jefferson County and for my family personally. I just want to say that we are all blessed to be able to be here with her, serving with her. Ms. T, thank you, as I have said before, for making me a better man and a better legislator. We are all beyond grateful without words for everything that you've done for this state, for people and men and women in general. So thank you, Ms. T.
Representative Anderson addressed the house, speaking as follows:
Let me say it's been a tremendous benefit for me to be sitting right next to Ms. T. You can almost hear what she's thinking from time to time. It's been tremendously rewarding and very educational. Ms. T, I love you, and I love what you've done for this house and this state. God bless you.
(Speaker in the chair)
Representative Allen addressed the house, speaking as follows:
Ms. T is a very special person. From first grade to the state house, thank you, Senfronia. They will never know the connection we have. Thank you.
Speaker Phelan addressed the house, speaking as follows:
I would just like to say that there's a common saying around this body that we all just end up on a composite down in the basement at some point. Ms. T will be on every composite in the chamber and in the basement, along with Dean Craddick and Mr. Dutton. They just reminded me there's 150 years of experience right here on the dais right now. I'll just end with the house is a better place with Ms. T in it. I think we all agree with that, so congratulations, Ms. Thompson.
Representative S. Thompson addressed the house, speaking as follows:
I'm very humbled by this resolution today, and I was very impressed to hear all of the things that I've been able to accomplish. But none of those things that I accomplished were without the support and help of legislators like you and those in the past. It just shows you what can be accomplished when we work together. The thing that I like about the house is we know how to put partisanship aside on many issues and work on the issues themselves. Those bills that were passed is a testimony to the leadership of the speakers that I was so privileged to serve. I want to thank the good Lord for blessing me to be here, my constituents for being intelligent enough to send me, and my colleagues being patient enough to tolerate me. Thank you.

PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY
REPRESENTATIVE S. THOMPSON: Did I indicate to my colleagues that I am running for reelection this morning, and I want to tell them that I appreciate the staff that I've had over the years?
SPEAKER PHELAN: If you say so, Ms. Thompson. You said it.
S. THOMPSON: Can we tell you that we would like to show some appreciation to the greatest speaker that we know, who has been an excellent leader this session?
SPEAKER: Thank you, Ms. Thompson.
REPRESENTATIVE MORRISON: Does the speaker know that we've been trying to sine die today?
SPEAKER: The speaker is very, very well aware that we've been trying to sine die today, but we have some unfinished business that we hope to wrap up if our friends in the senate would want to work with us.
MORRISON: So we're still waiting to sine die, and we're trying to find out what's going on, but what we want to say is thank you for the effort. You're trying to get us out of here, and you know that we need to go home. We're ready to go home, and we appreciate all the work that you're doing to try to get us out of here. We have no control across the hall from us.
SPEAKER: Thank you, Ms. Morrison. I appreciate that.
REPRESENTATIVE ROSE: Mr. Speaker, can I suspend the parliamentary inquiry and just make my comments?
SPEAKER: You can do whatever you want to, Ms. Rose.
ROSE: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On opening day, I stood before this body and did a seconding speech for you. I know a lot of people probably took issue with that being that I am a democrat and that I do represent the most democratic house district in the State of Texas. What I've learned since the moment you walked through these doors is I've been able to work with you on a lot of issues. We worked on issues as far as helping families, transportation for those individuals on Medicaid, and on other issues. One of the things that you've always been committed to is issues, you know, and that's evidenced by the fact of how you created the Select Committee on Health Care Reform as well as the Youth Health and Safety Committee.
I just didn't want to leave this 88th Legislative Session without thanking you—especially for your solid commitment, as I stated to this body yesterday, on maternal health issues and women's health. I want to thank you. Because of that, now women in Texas can have—well, I guess we've got to wait for the governor to sign it before I get too excited, but I do believe that he will because it was one of his priorities. But I just wanted to thank you for your support of that. All during the interim, I received so many phone calls that every conversation you had, you talked about us getting that across the finish line, and we've done it, Mr. Speaker. And I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart and for all of the future mothers of Texas. Thank you.
SPEAKER: Thank you, Ms. Rose.
REPRESENTATIVE HUNTER: Blow off the parliamentary inquiry. I just have a comment. On behalf of the sugar daddy and mama club right back here, we want to tell you thanks.
Everybody knows the speaker and I have known each other for many, many years. We met in the 90s, and he's always kept his word, he's always been there, and I want you to know I appreciate our very, very long friendship. We've gone through turbulence—that's just the nature of the legislature—but you held firm. You're here. We've made it to the last day, and I want to tell you thanks for taking care of Texas. Thanks for taking care of the coast. I want to make sure everybody heard that––the coast.
And since my good friend Rafael's down there, a slogan from South Texas, which I think represents the house with your leadership: "Trabajando juntos hacemos las cosas." And members, that's working together with this speaker, we get things done. Thank you.
SPEAKER: Amen, Mr. Hunter. Thank you.
REPRESENTATIVE BUCY: Just wanted to acknowledge that this past interim, I was appointed after requesting to get more involved in health care space, the Select Health Care Committee. We worked through the interim, and I brought a bill idea to this chamber for express lane eligibility to help kids get enrolled in health care. This institution, this body, embraced that idea and in a bipartisan way under your leadership. We made a commitment to that. It's one of the first bills we sent over there. Unfortunately, that institution never took up that bill, but after watching how you, Mr. Speaker, Representative Toni Rose, and so many others make a commitment here, I know we follow through. Even if it's a commitment delayed, I'm excited to know that we will not back down on fighting for these kids and fighting for their access to health care as we move on into the next session. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I thank this entire body for having that commitment.
SPEAKER: Mr. Bucy, we'll get that done next session. Thank you, sir.
REPRESENTATIVE PATTERSON: Parliamentary inquiry.
SPEAKER: I think your microphone is off. Does anyone else want to speak?
PATTERSON: Mr. Speaker, we come from diverse districts across the State of Texas. We have diverse ideas and opinions on the issues. You allow us a fair playing field by the rules that we adopt as a body, and you don't put your thumb on the scale. You allow us to fight for the issues that we believe are important to our constituents. For that, I want to say thank you. This last summer, I came to you in your office about an issue that I found out about in an interim hearing to better protect our national and state guardsmen on state active duty. You welcomed that conversation. You put the full weight of your office behind that effort, and now our troops—our Texas troops—are better protected for that. So Mr. Speaker, I want to say thank you so much for your service to this state.
SPEAKER: Thank you, sir. Appreciate you.
REPRESENTATIVE HOWARD: Do you know that I'm a democrat?
SPEAKER: I'm well aware, Ms. Howard.
HOWARD: And I believe you're a republican? I think so.
SPEAKER: That's what I'm told sometimes and sometimes I'm told I'm not.
HOWARD: That is my point. Mr. Speaker. Do you have any suggestions about how we talk about this in such a way that we can, as democrats, thank you for working with us and allowing us to work as a body without it somehow impugning your character for someone like me to be able to say that? Do you have a suggestion?
SPEAKER: My suggestion to every house member who walks on this floor is: members, vote your district.
HOWARD: We appreciate so much you're allowing us to work together. I think, especially the new people here are learning quite quickly I assume, that this is a body that we all care about and that we want to protect. It's all about the relationships that we have here, but we need the leadership that allows that to happen. I thank you very much for your leadership.
SPEAKER: Its been my pleasure, Ms. Howard.
REPRESENTATIVE MOODY: Which member served as the chair of State Affairs in 2019?
SPEAKER: That would be Representative Dade Phelan.
MOODY: I'm going to dispense with the parliamentary inquiries because I couldn't think of any other way to do this. I wanted to thank you, because, in that session, you stood right here as a member of the body and as the chair of State Affairs while I was standing at the front microphone, attempting to close the dead suspect loophole. No one asked you, I didn't ask you, and the body didn't demand that the chair of State Affairs talk about the bill that had come before his committee. But you arrived at this microphone to support that legislation because it was important and it was the right thing to do. While it didn't pass that session, yesterday that bill has been sent to the governor. I want to thank you for that. Because there is a lesson that I try to tell my kids every time that I talk to them about the work here and how hard it is. That lesson is if it's important, you don't quit. Thank you for not quitting when it comes to criminal justice reform, for bringing transparency to our systems, and for bringing justice to families. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
SPEAKER: Thank you, Mr. Moody. I've only been to the back microphone twice in nine years now, and it was a pleasure to be at the back microphone for that bill, Mr. Moody.
REPRESENTATIVE LOZANO: Just want to thank you, Mr. Speaker, for this session and the sessions before—continuing to bring this giant family of 149 other members together—each session closer and closer, even in times of extreme division. This house has withstood the pressures from the outside and stayed close together. Whether we're republican or democrat, we are all one in this giant family. Mr. Speaker, I want to formally invite you to the coast at any point to teach us all how to surf.
SPEAKER: Surfs up, Mr. Lozano.
REPRESENTATIVE THIERRY: Could you remind us of the statement you said about the Texas House of Representatives not being like Congress?
SPEAKER: Yes. We are nothing like Washington, D.C., nor should we ever strive to be like Washington, D.C., Ms. Thierry.
THIERRY: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would just like to make a statement to say that—as you've heard from everybody in this body—that we really strive to work together in this body, and we have been very effective at doing that. We don't allow partisan politics to rise over the importance of people. As we've heard before, as you can see today, all of our families are here, and we've been fellowshipping in the back hallway—eating and dining together. It is my understanding that does not happen in D.C. So I want to thank you for not D.C.-ing our Texas.
SPEAKER: It's been my pleasure, Ms. Thierry.
REPRESENTATIVE LANDGRAF: Mr. Speaker, you have led by example for this body. For those members who are new, before you had that position on that dais, I never saw a member who worked his bills and worked for his district—or her district or her bills—better than you did as a rank-and-file member of this body. When that gavel was placed in your hands by the members of this body, you continued to lead by that example about fighting for your district. You encouraged every member of this body, as other members have said, you have provided leadership in a body that allows that to happen. I think that is where the functionality of this place—on behalf of the people of this great state—can occur and can take place and where we can all be successful.
The only other thing that I want to add, Mr. Speaker, is that not only do you allow that to happen in this wonderful building and in this amazing chamber, but you also, in the interim that we may or may not be embarking upon shortly, also put in the time and the effort at great expense to yourself and to your family to make sure that you understand every corner of Texas. Whether it's the Panhandle, the Permian Basin, the Lower Rio Grande Valley, the coast, out to El Paso, in the Piney Woods of East Texas—you have an idea of what is important to every member of this body because it's important to you, and you make sure that you see it with your own two eyes. I just want to say that the work that you put in—in the interims before and as a rank-and-file member—is paying dividends for you as speaker. We all, as members of this beloved house, get to benefit from that leadership. I just want to say thank you, Mr. Speaker.
SPEAKER: Thank you. Mr. Landgraf. It's been an honor of a lifetime. Thank you, sir.
REPRESENTATIVE LALANI: Mr. Speaker, I would be remiss if I would end the day without thanking you and, through you, thanking the members of this house. At times, in my first session, it has been intriguing and challenging, but overall, it has been a blessing while learning. I want to thank you all—being a newbie; we've never felt that we are a freshmen class. We've been heard, valued, and respected as any other veteran members, and thank you all so much for all of your trust and mentorship. Thank you.
SPEAKER: It's been my pleasure, sir. Thank you. Members, I'll just briefly take this opportunity to thank you for placing your trust in me as speaker for this session. After last session, I had a bingo card made up—ran out of spots on the bingo card. This session, if you would have told me it would be even more interesting and more challenging than last session, I would not have believed you, but it has been. It's been a very interesting, challenging session—for not just the Texas House, but for the State of Texas. What happened this week is nothing I take pride in. It is not anything that I was proud of, but it was necessary, and it was just. The Texas House spoke and we sent a strong message for the future of Texas.
I don't want to leave this session on that note. We have so many wonderful things that we've accomplished this session that we can be so proud of. We probably have the opportunity to accomplish more in the, hopefully, coming months, not days. But we are going to do it together, and we are going to do it as the Texas House. Again, it is just a pleasure and an honor to serve with you and for you.
REPRESENTATIVE MARTINEZ FISCHER: I just wanted to echo that we really appreciate having the opportunity to both work with you and work through things with you in a respectful manner. Thank you.
SPEAKER: I thought you were going to call a point of order on everything that was just said Mr. Martinez Fischer.
MARTINEZ FISCHER: Well, since you asked—
SPEAKER: The point of order is well-taken and overruled. Thank you, members.
