SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 335
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
department 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 Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
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 copies of this Resolution be prepared for the
Shaw brothers as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
