H.R. No. 167 is a resolution honoring the memory of Amparo Hurtado Ortiz, a prominent figure in San Antonio's broadcasting community who passed away on August 4, 2025, at the age of 81. Born in Armenia, Colombia, on August 1, 1944, Ortiz had a distinguished career in radio and television, notably as the host of the talk show "Desde San Antonio," where she highlighted local talent and advocated for educational initiatives.

The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' condolences to Ortiz's family and acknowledges her significant impact on the community and the legacy she leaves behind. It highlights her dedication to education, her involvement in local organizations, and her deep faith as a parishioner at St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church. The resolution was unanimously adopted by the House on September 3, 2025, and an official copy will be prepared for her family.
