The resolution honors Adn Medrano for his significant contributions as a chef, author, and documentary filmmaker, particularly in relation to the indigenous foods of Texas and the Americas. With a background in broadcast journalism and philanthropy, Medrano has cultivated a deep appreciation for food traditions, which he emphasizes in his culinary work. He is recognized for coining the term "Texas Mexican" to describe his native cuisine and has gained acclaim for his two award-winning cookbooks that focus on authentic recipes from Mexican-Texan-American homes, distinguishing them from commercial Tex-Mex cuisine.

In addition to his culinary achievements, Medrano has a rich history in film and television, having founded the San Antonio CineFestival and produced the award-winning documentary "Truly Texas Mexican." His academic contributions include lectures on food and culture at various institutions, and his work has been instrumental in raising awareness of Texas's cultural heritage. The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' high regard for Medrano and extends best wishes for his continued success. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for him as a token of appreciation.
