 What is the HEB ART CAR? Students from the TEC Automotive Collision Classes , under the direction of teacher Eric Stevens , along with select art students from Bell (Edgar Miller) and Trinity (Carolyn Allen) are participating in an ART CAR project to be shown in Houston's international attraction, the Annual Orange Show Art Car Parade & Competition, May 8-10.

The family has established The Jeffrey Morris Foundation, which will fund the art car project though donations and has adopted the following mission statement:
