H.R. No. 176 is a resolution honoring the memory of Ava Renee Moore, who tragically passed away at the age of 18 on May 25, 2025. Ava, the daughter of Tamara and Robert Moore, was a bright and accomplished individual, having graduated from Timber Creek High School in Fort Worth in 2024, where she excelled academically and served as captain of the basketball team. At the time of her passing, she was a first-year student at the U.S. Air Force Academy Preparatory School, actively participating in athletics and demonstrating a passion for linguistics and various other interests. In recognition of her positive impact on her community, Timber Creek High School plans to retire her jersey number and establish a scholarship fund in her honor.
The resolution expresses the condolences of the Texas House of Representatives to Ava's family and friends, acknowledging the profound loss felt by those who knew her. It designates November 7, 2025, as Ava Moore Day to commemorate her life and contributions. The resolution was unanimously adopted by the House on September 3, 2025, and an official copy will be prepared for her family, with the House adjourning in her memory.
