Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Pastor Christopher "Chris" K. Wesley, my constituent and the Senior Pastor of Antioch Fellowship Church of Dallas. This month marks six years of dedicated leadership as pastor of this historic and impactful church—a church I am proud to represent and one that is truly on the move. These six years have been marked by servant leadership, the faithful teaching of God's Word, and a steadfast commitment to being a beacon of hope— not only for the Antioch congregation, but for communities throughout Dallas and beyond.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life, legacy, and bright light of Mr. Alger B. Bizor—a man whose faith was steady, whose heart was generous, and whose presence left a lasting mark on his family, his community, and all who were blessed to know him. Mr. Bizor was born on June 27, 1944, in Crockett, Texas, to the late Terry Bizor, Sr., and Annie B. Bizor. He was raised in Tyler, the Rose Capital of Texas, in the Jones Valley community, where his foundation of faith and family first took root.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize South Oak Cliff (SOC) High School, a pillar of the South Dallas community and a place where pride, perseverance, and belief in young people run deep.

Under the leadership of Principal Dr. Willie Johnson, the school has experienced a powerful transformation marked by higher academic expectations, a strong culture, and renewed community pride.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding students, faculty, and staff of DeSoto High School for their historic athletic excellence and the pride they continue to bring to our community and the State of Texas. This past December, DeSoto High School once again demonstrated why it stands among the most elite athletic programs in Texas. The DeSoto Eagles captured the UIL Class 6A Division II State Championship, delivering a decisive victory on one of the largest stages in high school sports.
Mr. Speaker, today I rise with immense pride to celebrate two exceptional football teams from Texas' very own 30th Congressional District for their championship wins this season. They are South Oak Cliff High School and DeSoto High School. This win comes as no surprise to those of us who call the district home. These young men showed up, put in the work, and, once again, proved that if we are looking for champions, all eyes should be on Texas-30. I am proud of each of these students' commitment, as well as every faculty member and parent who supported them along the way.
