H.C.R. No. 174
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, The Honorable George E. "Buddy" West of Odessa, a
highly respected member of the Texas House of Representatives,
passed away on June 25, 2008, at the age of 71; and
WHEREAS, Over the course of his notable tenure, which spanned
from 1992 until his death, Representative West served constituents
in Ector, Andrews, and Winkler Counties, earning the appreciation
and admiration of countless people along the way; he was
particularly active in the areas of energy policy and education,
chairing the House Committee on Energy Resources, contributing to
committees on public education and higher education, and supporting
the growth of his alma mater, The University of Texas of the Permian
Basin; moreover, he was always a strong advocate for Odessa, the
city he called home for more than 60 years; and
WHEREAS, The Texas Legislature has a long history of honoring
groups and individuals by designating highways, roads, bridges, and
other infrastructure in their honor, and Buddy West's exemplary
contributions to the Lone Star State make him especially worthy of
such a tribute; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the 81st Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby request the Texas Department of Transportation to designate
the overpass at the intersection of Highway 20 and Highway 338 in
Odessa as the Buddy West Memorial Overpass; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That, subject to Section 225.021(c),
Transportation Code, the department design and construct memorial
markers indicating the designation of the overpass as the Buddy
West Memorial Overpass and any other appropriate information and
erect a marker at each end of the overpass; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That the secretary of state forward an official
copy of this resolution to the chair of the Texas Transportation
Commission and the executive director of the Texas Department of
Transportation.
