WHEREAS, Citizens from across the Lone Star State are
gathering at the Capitol on May 6, 2013, for the Peace Officers'
Memorial Ceremony, held in honor of those brave men and women who
have lost their lives in the line of duty; and
WHEREAS, Texans everywhere are indebted to members of the law
enforcement profession who, by their selfless devotion to the
public welfare, have enabled us to enjoy the benefits of a peaceful
and orderly society; and
WHEREAS, Too seldom recognized and sometimes taken for
granted by the public they so faithfully serve, these intrepid
individuals daily risk their lives in order to preserve domestic
tranquility and to protect their fellow residents; and
WHEREAS, Constable Brian David Bachmann of the Brazos County
Constable's Office, Precinct 1, earned the respect and admiration
of his peers for his commitment to serving the greater good, and his
contributions will not soon be forgotten; and
WHEREAS, Throughout his tenure, which spanned 20 years,
Constable Bachmann demonstrated the loyalty, courage, and
self-sacrifice that are consistent with the highest ideals of the
law enforcement profession; and
WHEREAS, Killed in the line of duty on August 13, 2012, at the
age of 41, Constable Bachmann will long be missed by his family, his
fellow peace officers, and the entire community; and
WHEREAS, Though his life ended far too soon, Constable
Bachmann left behind a notable legacy that will forever be honored
by those who follow in this difficult but essential profession;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Constable Brian David
Bachmann of the Brazos County Constable's Office, Precinct 1, and
extend deepest sympathy to his relatives, friends, and fellow
officers; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Constable
Bachmann.
