H.R. No. 1115
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Throughout its history, the State of Texas has
maintained a commitment to the principle of private property
rights, and since its creation in 1920, the Texas Association of
REALTORS and its members have supported this vital principle; and
WHEREAS, Each day, REALTORS provide valuable professional
services that enable their fellow Texans to buy, sell, lease,
develop, and manage real estate in a knowledgeable and confident
manner, while helping to preserve the free enterprise system and
the right to own real property; and
WHEREAS, Over the years, Texas REALTORS have worked
diligently within the regulatory process to promote and raise their
business practices, and the term "REALTOR" has come to stand for
competence, fairness, and integrity; and
WHEREAS, The more than 80,000 members of the Texas
Association of REALTORS have consistently supported responsible
government as well as the entrepreneurial spirit that is the
backbone of our state's economy, and its members are indeed worthy
of special recognition at this time; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby recognize March 31, 2009, as REALTOR
Appreciation Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm welcome to
members of the Texas Association of REALTORS visiting on this day;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the Texas Association of REALTORS as an expression of
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
