The resolution honors Flaco Jiménez, a renowned Tejano accordionist, vocalist, and songwriter, for his significant contributions to Texas music. Born in San Antonio in 1939, Jiménez began his musical journey at a young age, playing the bajo sexto and later forming his own band, Los Caporales. His unique style, which blends elements of zydeco, blues, rock and roll, and country, established him as a Texas music legend by the early 1960s. Throughout his career, he collaborated with notable artists such as Doug Sahm, Ry Cooder, and Dwight Yoakam, and contributed to numerous successful recordings, including the Grammy-winning "Streets of Bakersfield."

Over his remarkable eight-decade career, Jiménez has received numerous accolades, including five Grammy Awards and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and has been recognized as a Texas State Musician. He has played a pivotal role in popularizing Tex-Mex and conjunto music on a global scale, influencing countless artists along the way. The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' high regard for Jiménez and extends best wishes for his continued happiness, along with a commitment to prepare an official copy of the resolution for him.
