CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Our country's judicial system was founded on the
principle that every American deserves equal justice under the law;
and

and the state would benefit from adopting policies to ensure that
all citizens have equal access to the courts; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the 84th Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby request the Texas Supreme Court to conduct a study of court
filing fees that considers ways to eliminate such fees; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That the secretary of state forward an official
copy of this resolution to the chief justice of the Texas Supreme
Court.
