He has traveled across the state, building partnerships with the K-12 education community, including the development of a strong relationship with the Texas Education Agency, two-year and four-year institutions of higher education, elected officials, educational leaders, the business community, and community-based organizations.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span style='font-size:6.5pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>In May 2006, during the Third Called Special Session, the 79th Texas Legislature passed House Bill 1, which is largely a reification of Commissioner Paredes’ vision regarding the achievement of the participation and success goals of Closing the Gaps.

After graduation from El Paso High School, he attended The University of Texas at Austin, receiving a B.A. in English. He served in the U.S. Army for two years, including a 14-month tour with the First Infantry Division in Vietnam. After separation from military service, he resumed his education, receiving a Ph.D. in American Civilization in 1973, once again from The University of Texas at Austin.
