SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 836
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize Louis A. Bedford IV for his outstanding work as a
legislative intern in the office of Senator Royce West; and
WHEREAS, Louis Bedford is a second-year law student at The
University of Texas School of Law, where he serves as the public
relations chair of the Thurgood Marshall Legal Society; he
expects to earn his law degree in May of 2018; and
WHEREAS, As an intern in the senator's office, Louis played
an integral role in the success of "Team West"; his many
responsibilities included attending hearings and summarizing the
proceedings, primarily those of the Committee on Higher Education
and of the Texas Legislative Black Caucus; he also researched,
analyzed, and provided feedback on bills, drafted questions for
floor debate, and spent time with constituents; and
WHEREAS, During his internship, Louis gained firsthand
knowledge of the governmental process and insight into the issues
facing our communities and our state, and he was an invaluable
asset to the staff in the office of Senator West; and
WHEREAS, It is the senator's hope that Louis's exposure to
the legislative process, the creation and interpretation of law,
and the mission of service to others will foster in him an
activism and spirit that will inspire him to carry on the legacy
of his grandfather, Judge Louis A. Bedford Jr., who was the
senator's highly respected mentor; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
Legislature, hereby commend Louis A. Bedford IV on his exemplary
work as a legislative intern for Senator Royce West and extend to
him best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for him
as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
West
