H.R. No. 134
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Austin Browning of Scurry played a crucial role in
saving the lives of at least four Texans; and
WHEREAS, On July 18, 2007, Austin was at the scene of a
terrible accident involving his younger brother, Hunter; the two
boys were out on their family's ranch when the incident occurred,
and Austin ran for a mile to get help; although Hunter passed away
the following day, Austin's quick and decisive actions made it
possible for several individuals in need to receive the gift of life
through organ donation; and
WHEREAS, More than 7,000 Texans are currently awaiting organ
donations, and this number continues to grow daily; through his
swift response on that tragic day, Austin Browning ensured that a
number of people were provided the chance for renewed health and a
brighter future; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby honor Austin Browning for his heroism; and, be
it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Austin Browning as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
