SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 888
WHEREAS, For over 170 years, the State of Texas has
embraced peoples of all nationalities and even citizens of lesser
states within these United States of America; and
WHEREAS, Many of these newly adopted Texans found their way
to the great State of Texas as fast as they could and subsequently
served this state with distinction and honor; and
WHEREAS, Despite not having the good fortune of calling
the Lone Star State their home, other citizens of these lesser
states have instead distinguished themselves by using their
professional talents in service to Texas' businesses and
citizens; and
WHEREAS, Finding himself in this second category, Weller
Hensell Harris Jr. has indeed served many Texas companies for
decades, especially those in the construction and engineering
industries; and
WHEREAS, Weller Hensell Harris Jr. also served the State of
Georgia as assistant attorney general in design and construction
matters and as the adjunct professor for 20 years at the Georgia
Institute of Technology; and
WHEREAS, For the last 38 years, Weller Hensell Harris Jr.
has been the managing partner of Wasson, Sours and Harris, P.C.,
based in Atlanta; and
WHEREAS, While having a commendable life and successful
career outside of Texas' expansive borders, Weller Hensell
Harris Jr. has always had great affection for this state and is a
true Texan in his heart; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
Legislature, hereby commend Weller Hensell Harris Jr. on his
exceptional achievements and extend best wishes for the future to
him, his wife of 51 years, Sara Todd "Toddie" Alston Harris, and
their two children and five grandchildren; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
Weller Hensell Harris Jr. as an expression of high regard from
the Texas Senate.
