The resolution commemorates the closure of El Valle Bakery in Rio Grande City, which served the community for 50 years before closing its doors on June 30, 2025. Founded by Adolfo and Maria del Carmen Berlanga in February 1975, the bakery became a beloved establishment known for its fresh bread and pastries, catering to generations of customers. Rafael Berlanga, the couple's son, joined the family business in 2008 and successfully managed it until his retirement, following the passing of his parents.

In recognition of the bakery's significant contribution to the community and its landmark status, the Texas House of Representatives expresses its appreciation through this resolution. It congratulates Rafael Berlanga on his retirement and acknowledges the legacy of service that El Valle Bakery has provided over the decades. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for Mr. Berlanga as a token of esteem from the Texas House of Representatives.
