WHEREAS, Officer Travis Nice of the Robinson Police
Department has deservedly been recognized for his actions on
November 11, 2016, when he helped deliver a baby during a traffic
stop; and
WHEREAS, On that day, Robinson patrol officer Brandon Hajek
pulled over a speeding vehicle, whose driver informed him that his
wife was in labor; Officer Hajek then called for paramedics before
summoning the aid of Officer Nice, himself a former paramedic, who
was traveling close behind and soon arrived on the scene; and
WHEREAS, Putting his training into practice, Officer Nice
assessed the situation and then enlisted the help of Officer Hajek
in moving the expectant mother to the back of the vehicle, where he
was able to help her deliver a healthy baby boy; Officer Nice was
later honored with a police commendation medal at a meeting of the
Robinson City Council; and
WHEREAS, Through his skill and presence of mind in an
emergency, Officer Travis Nice earned the profound gratitude of one
family along with the sincere appreciation and esteem of his
colleagues and fellow residents, and he may indeed take great pride
in his actions; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby commend Officer Travis Nice for his assistance
in delivering a baby during a traffic stop and extend to him sincere
best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Officer Nice as an expression of high regard by the
