---|
2 | 2 | | WHEREAS, Members of the Sheriffs' Association of Texas, one |
---|
3 | 3 | | of the nation's oldest law enforcement organizations, are |
---|
4 | 4 | | gathering in Austin on February 26, 2019, to participate in |
---|
5 | 5 | | Sheriffs' Association of Texas Day at the Capitol; and |
---|
6 | 6 | | WHEREAS, The Texas Constitution created the office of |
---|
7 | 7 | | sheriff in each county of the state; legislation requires that a |
---|
8 | 8 | | sheriff conserve peace and enforce the criminal laws of the |
---|
9 | 9 | | state; moreover, the sheriff is responsible for the county jail, |
---|
10 | 10 | | bail bonds, civil process, and the security of the courts; in |
---|
11 | 11 | | some smaller counties, the sheriff may also act as the tax |
---|
12 | 12 | | collector; and |
---|
13 | 13 | | WHEREAS, The first meeting of this esteemed association |
---|
14 | 14 | | took place on August 14, 1874; association members adopted their |
---|
15 | 15 | | preamble calling for sheriffs to assist one another in the |
---|
16 | 16 | | execution of laws, in the discharge of their duties against |
---|
17 | 17 | | criminals, and in the protection of the citizens in their |
---|
18 | 18 | | respective counties and throughout the state; through the years, |
---|
19 | 19 | | members of the association have continued to support the dictates |
---|
20 | 20 | | of this mission; and |
---|
21 | 21 | | WHEREAS, The office of sheriff is one of the oldest forms |
---|
22 | 22 | | of law enforcement; sheriffs in our state's 254 counties are |
---|
23 | 23 | | elected to four-year terms, and each sheriff is a member of the |
---|
24 | 24 | | Sheriffs' Association of Texas; in addition, more than 2,500 |
---|
25 | 25 | | individuals are active members of the group, and more than 50,000 |
---|
26 | 26 | | individuals are honorary members; now, therefore, be it |
---|
27 | 27 | | RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th |
---|
28 | 28 | | Legislature, hereby recognize February 26, 2019, as Sheriffs' |
---|
29 | 29 | | Association of Texas Day at the Capitol and commend the members |
---|
30 | 30 | | of the Sheriffs' Association of Texas for their many |
---|
31 | 31 | | contributions to our state; and, be it further |
