WHEREAS, Texans everywhere are indebted to the men and women
of the law enforcement profession who willingly place themselves in
harm's way to protect the safety of their communities, and Corporal
Bryan Shaw and Trooper Danny Shaw are two such individuals; and
WHEREAS, Corporal Bryan Shaw, a detective with the El Centro
College Campus Police, was among the officers present during a
demonstration in downtown Dallas on July 7, 2016; Corporal Shaw was
struck when a lone gunman opened fire on police; despite his injury,
he continued to protect his fellow officers and civilians, and he
held his post during an hours-long standoff between the police and
the gunman; and
WHEREAS, Later that year, Corporal Bryan Shaw's older
brother, Trooper Danny Shaw of the Texas Department of Public
Safety, was also injured in the line of duty; on November 25, 2016,
while he was on assignment in Fronton, near the Rio Grande, Trooper
Shaw was struck by a bullet from an unknown assailant after a
firefight erupted on the Mexican side of the river; in the midst of
the violence, he was transported to a hospital by DPS helicopter;
and
WHEREAS, Through their courage and dedication to duty, these
two outstanding officers have earned the respect and gratitude of
their fellow Texans, who continue to hold them in their thoughts and
prayers; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby honor Corporal Bryan Shaw and Trooper Danny Shaw
for their commitment and perseverance, both on the job and during
their recovery, and extend to them sincere best wishes for the
future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared
for the Shaw brothers as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
