  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the exceptional 
career of Atascosa County Judge Diana Bautista. Judge Bautista has 
served the people of South Texas since she was elected in 2002.
  Prior to becoming County Judge, Diana Bautista worked for the county 
as a clerk, as a Secretary for the jail Administrator, and then became 
a Pleasanton police officer and Atascosa County Sheriffs Deputy. During 
her time with public service offices such as these, Judge Bautista 
learned how she could best serve the people of Atascosa County. Taking 
her oath in 2003, Judge Bautista has served admirably for over a 
decade, boldly advocating for the citizens and employees of the county. 
In addition to her exemplary career, Judge Bautista is a committed wife 
and mother and a cancer survivor.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to have the opportunity to recognize Judge 
Diana Bautista. Her dedication to the citizens of Atascosa County has 
truly made her community a better place to live and work.
