Congratulating Susan Christian on her retirement as director of the Houston Mayor's Office of Special Events.
HR 138 is a ceremonial resolution (not a policy bill) adopted by the Texas House of Representatives on March 31, 2025, to honor Susan Christian upon her retirement as director of the Houston Mayor's Office of Special Events (MOSE). The resolution recognizes her nearly 40-year career with the city, including creating MOSE in 1992, managing major events like the July 4th celebration and championship parades, and co-founding Houston Civic Events, Inc. in 2015. It expresses the House's "sincere best wishes" for her future and includes a formal copy as a gesture of "high regard." This resolution has no legislative effect or policy changes - it is purely a commemorative gesture.
