Mr. Speaker. I rise today in great honor and solemn regret for a great son of Houston that passed away last Thursday. I stand in honor of the late U.S. District Judge James deAnda who passed last week from a battle with cancer. The son of Mexican immigrants. James deAnda was born and raised in North Houston and graduated from my alma mater. Jeff Davis High School. He went on to graduate from Texas A&M University. but not before he joined the U.S. Marines and served in the Pacific during WWII. Once retuming from service he graduated from the University of Texas School of Law.
