                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 19, 2016

  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the ten year 
anniversary of Texas Border Business.
  Roberto H. Gonzalez founded Texas Border Business in 2005 as a source 
of business news for South Texas and Northern Mexico. Since its 
inception, it has been regarded by the business community as one of the 
most valuable and credible sources for commerce news. Their high 
caliber reporting and journalistic integrity offers the region's 
businesses a well-balanced and informative source for news.
  Regular features include industry and market reports, company success 
stories and executive insights. The newspaper also provides regular 
updates on educational programs serving businesses, ongoing features 
introducing local company web sites, as well as articles on local 
politics and how they affect business in the Rio Grande Valley. In 
addition, Texas Border Business covers the high-tech industry, with 
reports on e-commerce, broadband, wireless, data storage, web design, 
computer peripherals, and security.
  Furthermore, Texas Border Business also serves as a reminder that 
perseverance is the key to success. Roberto H. Gonzalez started this 
publication using the last few dollars that he had. His home was being 
foreclosed and bills were piling up. He had been unemployed for over a 
year and had barely enough money to make it day to day. However, he 
never lost hope. After, ten years of success through hard work and 
dedication, this anniversary shows what can be accomplished.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to have the opportunity to recognize Texas 
Border Business on its ten year anniversary and I congratulate Roberto 
Hugo Gonzalez and the Texas Border Business team for their important 
contributions to the business community in the Rio Grande Valley.
