WHEREAS, Jayme DeSchaaf of Liberty Hill is joining the elite
ranks of Texas game wardens with his graduation as a member of the
58th Texas Game Warden Cadet Class on August 6, 2013; and
WHEREAS, Among the best-trained fish and wildlife
conservation officers in the nation, the game wardens of the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department play a vital role in maintaining the
sustainability of the state's native fauna, as well as the safety of
hunting, fishing, boating, and other outdoor activities; and
WHEREAS, The TPWD Game Warden Training Center accepts only a
fraction of the hundreds of people who apply for admission to its

will benefit from the experience he gained as a member of the armed
forces; he joined the U.S. Army Reserve in 2008, was trained in
field medical duties, and became a noncommissioned officer in the
801st Combat Support Hospital; he is a 2011 graduate of Illinois
State University, where he was vice president of Alpha Phi Sigma,
the criminal justice honor society; and
WHEREAS, The men and women who become Texas game wardens make
a positive and lasting contribution to the vitality and
environmental well-being of the Lone Star State, and it is fitting
that Mr. DeSchaaf's achievement in joining this select group be
recognized; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby congratulate Jayme
