WHEREAS, Adam Wall, a member of the Kaufman Police
Department, was honored for his courageous actions in the line of
duty with a Meritorious Service Award in May 2022; and
WHEREAS, Officer Wall was serving on the Kaufman Independent
School District police force at the time of the incident on
April 11, 2022, when he intervened to prevent a reckless driver
from entering a school zone; the suspect, a 37-year-old man, was
pursued by police before ultimately being arrested after a brief
standoff on U.S. Highway 175; and
WHEREAS, Upon witnessing the driver approaching the school
zone near two Kaufman campuses on South Houston Street, Officer
Wall acted quickly to position his patrol vehicle to block the
driver's path; the suspect was later determined to be driving while
heavily intoxicated; and
WHEREAS, The Kaufman community is fortunate to have such
exceptional public servants as Adam Wall, whose swift and decisive
response helped prevent what could have been a tragic turn of
events, and he is truly deserving of special recognition for his
heroism; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Kaufman police officer Adam Wall on
his receipt of a Meritorious Service Award and commend him for his
brave and selfless actions on April 11, 2022; and, be it further
