HR 1470 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Congratulating Dr. Pastor Alvarado of Brownsville on his retirement.

This is a ceremonial resolution (HR 1470), not a substantive bill.

The resolution highlights his medical expertise, leadership roles in local medical societies, and service to the Rio Grande Valley community. It has no policy impact - only serves as a formal expression of appreciation from the Texas House of Representatives.
