  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, today I rise to recognize Christian 
Alvarado, a 2019 recipient of the North Texas in DC Internship Program 
Legacy Award. As a fellow University of North Texas alum, it is my 
privilege to recognize this outstanding Texan for his many 
achievements.
  Currently, Christian is the co-founder of CBTX Capital, an investment 
and real estate development firm based in Austin, Texas. Prior to co-
founding CBTX Capital, Christian served as the chief of staff and 
counsel to the chairman of the Texas Railroad Commission.
  Previously, he worked as an attorney at Jackson Walker, LLP where he 
advised corporate clients on various business transactions including 
securities, mergers and acquisitions, business formation and 
governance. He also has served as a special assistant to then-Texas 
Secretary of State Roger Williams.
  Governor Perry appointed Christian to the One Call Board of Texas, 
and Governor Abbott appointed him to serve as a board member of the 
Department of Information Resources. Additionally, he is the board 
president of Austin Angels, a non-profit organization that provides 
assistance to local foster children.
  As evidenced by his distinguished track record of accomplishments, 
Christian has spent much of his career in service to his fellow Texans. 
I congratulate him on this honor, and wish the entire Alvarado family 
every continued success.
