Senate Resolution No. 348 commemorates the 50th anniversary of Monument Chevrolet in Pasadena, a family-owned dealership co-founded in 1974 by Carroll Smith, who is currently supported by his sons, W. C. and Brandon. The resolution highlights Mr. Smith's accolades, including being named TIME Dealer of the Year in 1997 and Automotive Youth Educational Systems Dealer of the Year in 2006. Monument Chevrolet has also embraced sustainability through green initiatives aimed at reducing its carbon footprint, demonstrating a commitment to environmental responsibility.

In addition to its business operations, Monument Chevrolet actively engages with the local community by supporting various charities and educational initiatives, including sponsoring events like the La Porte-Bayshore Chamber of Commerce's State of the Cities Luncheon. The resolution expresses the Texas Senate's appreciation for the dealership's contributions to the Pasadena community and extends best wishes for its continued success.
