SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 487
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 and information that empower their fellow
Texans to buy, sell, lease, develop, and manage residential and
commercial real estate in a knowledgeable and confident manner
while helping 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 for 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 Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
Legislature, hereby recognize April 4, 2017, as Texas Realtor
Appreciation Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm welcome
to members of the Texas Association of Realtors on the occasion
of their visit to the State Capitol; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
the Texas Association of Realtors as an expression of esteem from
the Texas Senate.
