SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 296
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the Real Estate Councils of Texas, an organization
committed to serving the real estate industry in our state; and
WHEREAS, Organized in September of 2008 and consisting of
real estate development associations from Austin, Dallas, Fort
Worth, Houston, and San Antonio, the Real Estate Councils of
Texas will provide a way for these associations to work together
to monitor and advocate on legislative issues important to the
industry; and
WHEREAS, With a mission of serving as the unified voice of
the real estate development industry in Texas, the Real Estate
Councils of Texas will work to promote sound public policy and
educate policymakers on the potential impact of legislative and
regulatory measures on the industry; and
WHEREAS, Real estate development is one of the most
important industries in the state, providing more than $3.8
billion in tax revenue, 1.75 million jobs, and $270.6 billion in
total economic activity to our state; its essential place in the
Texas economy truly warrants having an effective advocacy group
to address its needs and further its goals; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 81st
Legislature, hereby recognize the Real Estate Councils of Texas
and commend this fine organization on its dedication to serving
