H.R. No. 145 is a resolution recognizing Patricia Thompson for her recent achievement of becoming a naturalized citizen of the United States on October 26, 2024. Originally from Canada, Trish moved to the U.S. in 2006 to work for the Dow Chemical Company and quickly developed a deep appreciation for Texas, particularly Brazoria County. Over the years, she built strong relationships within her community, married Jeffery Thompson in 2012, and embraced her role as a stepmother. In 2018, she took a position with MEGlobal, which allowed her to bridge her professional ties between Canada and the U.S.

The resolution celebrates her dedication and commitment to her new life in America, culminating in her successful completion of the citizenship process, including passing the civics test just days before her birthday. Patricia Thompson will be honored during Brazoria County Day at the State Capitol on February 25, 2025. The Texas House of Representatives extends its congratulations and best wishes for her future success and happiness, and an official copy of the resolution will be prepared for her as a token of esteem.
