SR 281 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Recognizing James Anthony Tamayo for his exemplary leadership of the Diocese of Laredo.

This is a ceremonial Senate resolution (SR 281), not a policy bill. It formally recognizes Bishop James Anthony Tamayo for his 25 years of leadership as bishop of the Diocese of Laredo, coinciding with the diocese's 25th anniversary. The resolution expresses the Texas Senate's appreciation for his service, including his work building the diocese, promoting community outreach, and supporting Catholic communities in South Texas. It has no legal effect and serves only as a symbolic gesture of respect, with a copy to be given to the Diocese of Laredo.
