R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Throughout its history, the State of Texas has
maintained a commitment to the principle of private property
rights, and since its creation in 1920, the Texas Association of
REALTORS and its members have supported this vital principle; and
WHEREAS, Each day, Texas REALTORS provide valuable
professional services that enable their fellow Texans to buy, sell,
lease, develop, and manage residential and commercial real estate
in a knowledgeable and confident manner, while helping to preserve
the free enterprise system and the right to own real property; and
WHEREAS, Over the years, Texas REALTORS have worked
diligently within the regulatory process to promote and raise the
caliber of their business practices, and the term "REALTOR" has
come to symbolize competence, integrity, and a high regard for
ethics; and
WHEREAS, The more than 110,000 members of the Texas
Association of REALTORS have consistently advocated for
responsible government as well as the entrepreneurial spirit that
is the backbone of our state's economy, and its members are indeed
worthy of special recognition at this time; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize April 4, 2017, as REALTOR Appreciation
Day at the State Capitol and extend to the visiting members of the
association sincere best wishes for an informative and enjoyable
stay in Austin; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the Texas Association of REALTORS as an expression of
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
