The resolution honors the memory of Scott Zublin, the owner of the Texas Chili Parlor in Austin, who passed away on June 7, 2025, at the age of 67. Born in Austin on May 20, 1958, Zublin had a successful career in the oil industry before purchasing the iconic restaurant in 2002. Under his ownership, he not only paid off the establishment's debt but also maintained its welcoming atmosphere, attracting a diverse clientele, including celebrities. Zublin's contributions to the restaurant industry were recognized in various media, including a feature in Quentin Tarantino's film "Death Proof" and appearances on the Food Network.

The resolution expresses condolences to Zublin's family, including his siblings, nieces, nephews, and other relatives, highlighting the love and support he received throughout his life. It acknowledges his passions, such as collecting vehicles, riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle, and being an avid sports fan, particularly of the University of Texas at Austin. The Texas Senate pays tribute to Zublin's legacy, noting his generous spirit and zest for life, and resolves to prepare an official copy of the resolution for his family while adjourning in his memory.
