H.R. No. 200
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The observance of State Lineman Appreciation Day on
May 4, 2019, presents an ideal opportunity to recognize the
hardworking men and women who construct and maintain the electrical
infrastructure of Texas; and
WHEREAS, All year long, at all times of the day and night, and
in all weather, these skilled and courageous professionals put
their lives at risk to ensure the safety and reliability of our
state's electrical grid; and
WHEREAS, After storms, natural disasters, and other
catastrophic events, linemen often serve as first responders,
helping to make the scene safe for other public safety workers;
linemen frequently labor under dangerous conditions, far from their
families, and with little recognition; and
WHEREAS, The lineman profession is steeped in personal,
family, and professional tradition, as each generation passes down
to the next the skills necessary to keep thousands of volts of
electricity flowing through power lines without interruption; and
WHEREAS, This vital work is essential to our economy, our
security, and our way of life, and it is truly a privilege to honor
the linemen of Texas at this time; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize May 4, 2019, as State Lineman
Appreciation Day in Texas and extend to linemen across the state
sincere gratitude for all their contributions.
