R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Captain Johnny Mynar retired from the McLennan
County Sheriff's Office after 34 years of service on November 30,
2008, drawing to a close an exemplary career in law enforcement; and
WHEREAS, Captain Mynar's notable tenure encompassed several
different assignments with the sheriff's office; beginning as a
jailer, he was soon promoted to the position of bailiff for the 54th
District Court and worked for Judges Carl C. Anderson and Walter
Smith; in 1982, he became the day shift supervisor, and while in
that position, he earned the rank of sergeant when the sheriff's
office instituted a rank structure for its uniformed personnel; and
WHEREAS, Promoted to lieutenant in 1989, he took on the
responsibilities of being assistant jail administrator, and his
outstanding performance in that capacity led to his appointment as
jail administrator and his promotion to the rank of captain in 1998;
these administrative positions enabled Captain Mynar to play an
instrumental role in developing the McLennan County Jail Division
and helping it to effectively adapt to the challenges presented by a
growing county and an increasing inmate population; and
WHEREAS, This respected officer was a member of the American
Jail Association, the Texas Jail Association, the Commission on
Jail Standards, and the Texas Association of Counties, and his
affiliation with those organizations allowed him to learn from and
share valuable information with colleagues throughout Texas; and
WHEREAS, An assured leader in a range of endeavors, Captain
Mynar was a member of the school board for the West Independent
School District for six years and is a former president and longtime
member of the West Kiwanis; he currently serves as president of the
Cottonwood Water Board and holds a seat on the board of the West
Fair and Rodeo; he and his wife, Cheryl, reside in West, and Mr.
Mynar is looking forward to spending more time on their farm during
his retirement years; and
WHEREAS, For more than three decades, Johnny Mynar
distinguished himself in his efforts to serve and protect the
citizens of McLennan County, and he may indeed reflect with pride on
his outstanding record of achievement during his years in uniform;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Johnny Mynar on his retirement from
the McLennan County Sheriff's Office and extend to him sincere best
wishes for continued happiness; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Captain Mynar as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
