Midland investment business, and is president of Craddick, Inc.; he
is also a business development representative for Rapid Drilling
and Chem Rock, an oilfield supply company; and
WHEREAS, In 2011, Speaker Craddick received the Top Hand
Award from the Permian Basin Petroleum Association, which cited his
deep knowledge of oil and gas issues and his advocacy in behalf of
the industry; his numerous accolades further include the Hats Off!
Award from the Texas Independent Producers and Royalty Owners
Association; and
WHEREAS, Tom Craddick has distinguished himself as a highly
effective leader in an industry that is a vital part of the Texas
economy, and his accomplishments indeed merit special recognition;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Honorable Tom Craddick on his
induction into the Petroleum Hall of Fame and extend to him sincere
best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Speaker Craddick as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
