  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the important 
contributions of Judge Saul Acevedo, of my Congressional District.
  Saul Acevedo was born and raised in San Antonio and has been actively 
involved in the community. He is a product of San Antonio Independent 
School District and graduated from Jefferson High School in 1981. He 
earned his Bachelors Degree in Political Science in 1986 from the 
University of Texas at San Antonio. He then enrolled at Texas Southern 
University, and in 1989 earned his Law Degree.
  Judge Acevedo was elected as Precinct 1 Justice of the Peace in 1998; 
he works constantly to ensure that the people of his community receive 
the services they need from local government. He is a credit to his 
community and a tremendous resource for his county.
  During his time in office he has dedicated himself to the youth of 
the community. He is extremely active in District 19 little league 
baseball, and is a past league president. There is one role that Judge 
Saul Acevedo plays in the community that trumps everything; he is 
married to Marietta and has two beautiful children.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to have this opportunity to recognize Judge 
Saul Acevedo for his dedication and contributions to the community.
