H.R. No. 339
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Members of the Tax Assessor-Collectors Association
of Texas are visiting the State Capitol on February 10, 2009, and
this occasion provides a fitting opportunity to pay tribute to this
noteworthy organization; and
WHEREAS, TACA was established in 1934, with the mission to
secure the benefits of an organized effort, exchange ideas and
discuss mutual problems, and maintain the efficiency of the county
tax offices; the group also promotes professional standards among
its members and encourages them to become aware of legislative
issues and to participate in the process; and
WHEREAS, The organization consists of elected tax assessors
and sheriffs who perform their duties for the state's 254 counties,
as well as a majority of the cities and school districts; these
public servants collect billions of dollars in tax revenue for the
entities they represent, and as agents for the Texas Department of
Transportation, they are responsible for distributing motor
vehicle licenses and titles; in addition, many of the tax assessors
act as the voter registrar for their respective counties; and
WHEREAS, The Tax Assessor-Collectors Association of Texas is
a vital group of individuals who are committed to serving their
fellow citizens, and it is indeed a pleasure to recognize the
organization for its many contributions to the Lone Star State;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby honor the Tax Assessor-Collectors Association
of Texas for its valuable service to the state and welcome the
visiting delegation to the Capitol; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for TACA as an expression of high regard by the Texas House
of Representatives.
