Senate Resolution No. 840 recognizes Daniel Vaughn for his graduation from the Texas Southern University Thurgood Marshall School of Law. The resolution highlights his determination and resilience, as he faced significant challenges during his educational journey, including a battle with a brain tumor that eventually cost him his eyesight.
