The resolution honors the life and legacy of Maria Teresa Flores Cavazos, who passed away on May 9, 2025, at the age of 83. Born in Laredo, Texas, on March 14, 1942, she was the eldest of nine siblings and the first in her family to graduate from college, earning a degree in mathematics. Maria Teresa had a distinguished career as a math and science teacher at various educational institutions and was deeply involved in her community and church in Monterrey, Mexico, where she contributed to numerous civic and charitable activities. She was known for her culinary skills, creativity, and strong faith, which guided her in her many roles as a mother, grandmother, and friend.

The resolution expresses heartfelt condolences to her husband, children, grandchildren, siblings, and extended family, acknowledging the profound impact she had on their lives and the community. It concludes with a commitment to honor her memory by preparing an official copy of the resolution for her family and recognizing her contributions when the Texas House of Representatives adjourns for the day.
