In memory of Joe Glenn Barton.
The resolution serves as a formal tribute acknowledging Barton’s extensive contributions to both the law enforcement community and the Farmersville area. It highlights not only his professional achievements but also his community involvement, including leadership in local organizations and volunteer work. Through SR222, the Texas Senate officially commemorates Barton's legacy, ensuring that his memory is preserved and recognized at a state level.
Senate Resolution No. 222 honors the life and contributions of Constable Joe Glenn Barton, who passed away on January 10, 2015. A respected figure in Farmersville, Barton dedicated a significant portion of his life to public service, starting his law enforcement career with the McKinney Police Department before being elected as Collin County Constable for Precinct 2. Over his 26-year tenure, he served his community with distinction and was re-elected on six occasions, showcasing his commitment to duty and civic responsibility.
While SR222 is primarily a memorial resolution that seeks to pay respects and celebrate the life of Constable Barton, it does not contain any contentious elements typically associated with legislation. Rather, it unites members of the Senate in a shared recognition of a life dedicated to service, fostering camaraderie and support among constituents who appreciated Barton's contributions.
