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 student and athlete, having graduated from Timber Creek High School in Fort Worth in 2024, where she was the captain of the basketball team and a member of the varsity golf team. At the time of her death, she had completed her first year at the U.S. Air Force Academy Preparatory School and was preparing to return as a cadet. Ava was known for her academic excellence, athletic achievements, and her passion for linguistics, art, music, literature, and politics. 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.

It designates November 7, 2025, as Ava Moore Day to commemorate her life and contributions. The Texas House of Representatives unanimously adopted the resolution on September 3, 2025, and it calls for an official copy to be prepared for her family, ensuring that Ava's memory is honored and remembered by all who knew her.
