H.R. No. 97 is a resolution honoring the life and legacy of Daniel Anthony Pedrotti, who passed away on July 30, 2025, at the age of 94. Born in Del Rio, Texas, on July 15, 1931, he was the first in his family to graduate from college, earning degrees in geology from Texas A&M University.

The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' condolences to Pedrotti's family, highlighting his dedication to family, faith, and community. He is remembered for his contributions to both the geological field and wildlife conservation, as well as for his loving marriage and family, which includes four children, 11 grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren. The resolution was unanimously adopted by the House on September 2, 2025, and an official copy will be prepared for his family.
