H.R. No. 1315 is a resolution honoring Flaco Jiménez, a prominent figure in Texas music, for his significant contributions to the Tejano genre and his influence on the broader music landscape. Born Leonardo Jiménez in San Antonio in 1939, he began his musical journey at a young age, playing the bajo sexto and later the accordion. By the age of 15, he formed the band Los Caporales, which gained popularity through local recordings and television appearances. His unique style, blending various musical influences, established him as a Texas legend by the early 1960s. Jiménez's collaborations with notable artists such as Doug Sahm and Ry Cooder expanded his reach, leading to national recognition and successful projects, including his work on Dwight Yoakam's hit "Streets of Bakersfield."

Throughout his illustrious career spanning eight decades, Jiménez has received numerous accolades, including five Grammy Awards and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. He has been recognized as a Texas State Musician and inducted into several prestigious halls of fame. The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' admiration for Jiménez's role in popularizing Tex-Mex and conjunto music globally, as well as his lasting impact on countless artists. It concludes with best wishes for his continued happiness and the preparation of an official copy of the resolution as a token of high regard.
