H.R. No. 533
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Members of the Sheriffs' Association of Texas, one
of the nation's oldest law enforcement organizations, are gathering
in Austin on February 18, 2015, to participate in Sheriffs'
Association of Texas Day at the Capitol; and
WHEREAS, The Texas Constitution created the office of sheriff
in each county of the state; legislation requires that a sheriff
conserve peace and enforce the criminal laws of the state;
moreover, the sheriff is responsible for the county jail, bail
bonds, civil process, and the security of the courts, and in some
smaller counties, the sheriff may also act as the tax collector; and
WHEREAS, The first meeting of the Sheriffs' Association of
Texas took place on August 14, 1874; association members adopted
their preamble calling for sheriffs to assist one another in the
execution of laws, in the discharge of their duties against
criminals, and in the protection of the citizens in their
respective counties and throughout the state; the group has
continued to follow the dictates of this mission to this day; and
WHEREAS, The office of sheriff is one of the oldest forms of
law enforcement; sheriffs in our state's 254 counties are elected
to four-year terms, and each sheriff is a member of the Sheriffs'
Association of Texas; in addition, more than 2,500 individuals are
active members of the group, and over 50,000 individuals are
associate members; and
WHEREAS, The men and women of the Sheriffs' Association of
Texas are helping to make the Lone Star State an even safer place,
and their work benefits countless people each day; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize February 18, 2015, as Sheriffs'
Association of Texas Day at the Capitol and commend the members of
the Sheriffs' Association of Texas for their many contributions to
their communities; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the association as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
