                            H.R. No. 854


 R E S O L U T I O N
 WHEREAS, Laymond Wilburn has won great distinction for
 himself and the Thurgood Marshall School of Law at Texas Southern
 University with his selection as one of the 2017 Law Students of the
 Year by the National Jurist magazine; and
 WHEREAS, This significant honor is being presented to only 25
 students from across the nation in 2017, all of them nominated by
 their law schools for their academic achievement, community
 service, and commitment to justice; and
 WHEREAS, The son of Ray and Kathy Wilburn, Laymond Wilburn is
 a proud Houstonian who attended Strake Jesuit College Preparatory
 before graduating with a bachelor's degree from Xavier University
 of Louisiana; after earning his master's degree, he served as
 deputy sheriff in Jackson County, Mississippi, in the aftermath of
 Hurricane Katrina; and
 WHEREAS, Answering his nation's call to duty, Mr. Wilburn
 enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, where he demonstrated remarkable
 drive and ability as an active duty cyberwarfare officer; over the
 course of five years, he served in South Korea, Bosnia and
 Herzegovina, and the Middle East; in Germany, he commanded the
 largest communications flight in the air force, supervising 300
 airmen in support of Operation Enduring Freedom; he also
 volunteered to preside as officer in charge for more than 75
 funerals in the Gulf Coast region; and
 WHEREAS, Throughout his military career, Mr. Wilburn applied
 to law school, only to be waitlisted each time; when he was at last
 accepted, he deferred his enrollment to serve with the Green Berets
 and the Navy SEALs in Afghanistan; he then left the air force to
 pursue his dream of becoming an attorney; and
 WHEREAS, Now a third-year student at Thurgood Marshall School
 of Law, Mr. Wilburn was elected "Mr. TMSL" for the 2016-2017
 academic year; his extensive volunteer work includes leading many
 community service projects as well as performing more than 300
 hours of pro bono work with the Houston Young Lawyers Association in
 behalf of area veterans; and
 WHEREAS, Always optimistic and rarely without a smile,
 Mr. Wilburn is currently serving his seventh internship with the
 Texas Legislature in Austin, where he is widely regarded as one of
 the best-dressed men in the Capitol and, indeed, in the entire State
 of Texas; and
 WHEREAS, Poised on the threshold of a brilliant career,
 Laymond Wilburn has proven to be as successful a law student as he
 has been in all his previous endeavors, and he is truly deserving of
 national recognition for his initiative, his capability, and his
 dedication to serving others; now, therefore, be it
 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
 Legislature hereby congratulate Laymond Wilburn on being named a
 2017 Law Student of the Year by the National Jurist and extend to
 him sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
 RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
 prepared for Mr. Wilburn as an expression of high regard by the
 Texas House of Representatives.
