H.R. No. 262 is a resolution honoring the life and legacy of Azucena Rodriguez Barrera, who passed away on January 28, 2025, at the age of 95. Born in Robstown on August 24, 1929, to Felix and Isabel Guajardo Rodriguez, she was known for her strong values of faith, perseverance, and hard work, which she instilled in her family. Tena, as she was affectionately known, married Gregorio "Gollo" Barrera in 1946 and dedicated her life to her children, Rene and Hilda, as well as her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a lifelong member of St. Anthony's Catholic Church and, alongside her husband, opened Barrera's Fried Chicken in 1978, where she was beloved by the community for her warmth and hospitality.

The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' condolences to Tena Barrera's family, including her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, acknowledging the profound impact she had on their lives. It highlights her devotion to family, her role as a nurturing matriarch, and her commitment to passing down cultural values and traditions. The resolution concludes with a tribute to her enduring legacy of love, laughter, and faith, and it was unanimously adopted by the House on March 6, 2025.
