Rights is hosting the 18th annual Corpus Christi observance of
National Crime Victims' Rights Week from April 19 through 25, 2015;
and
WHEREAS, Sponsored by the United States Department of Justice
Office for Victims of Crime, this important national event was
established to empower victims by making them aware of community
support and by fostering an atmosphere in which they feel safer and
more capable of reaching out for assistance; the weeklong
activities encourage citizens to listen to crime victims who come
forward and to aid in their journey to healing; and

Communities, Empowering Victims," and the Nueces County Coalition
is hosting a variety of events to more closely involve community
leaders, organizations, and concerned citizens; by increasing

and in the criminal justice system are better able to measure the
impact of crime and find ways to meet the needs of underserved
victims; and
WHEREAS, The participants in National Crime Victims' Rights
Week are committed to helping others rebuild their lives in the wake
of criminal acts, and this occasion provides a fitting opportunity
to recognize the courage of survivors and the dedication and
compassion of those who work in their behalf; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the 2015 National Crime Victims'
Rights Week observance in Corpus Christi and extend to all those
involved in this event sincere appreciation for their endeavors.
