WHEREAS, Many proud members of the Texas Association of
Counties are gathering in Austin on April 4, 2023, in observance
of County Government Day at the State Capitol; and
WHEREAS, Formed in 1969, TAC represents all 254 of the
state's counties; it coordinates and augments the efforts of
county officials to deliver responsive government, and it
promotes the interests of local government; and
WHEREAS, Through TAC, counties unite to better meet the
challenges of contemporary society; the organization supports
the endeavors of county officials and facilitates greater
efficiency; it offers training and education, gathers
information on issues and best practices, and provides a wide
variety of services, from email and webhosting to a risk
management pool, a health and employee benefits pool, and an
unemployment compensation group account fund; and
WHEREAS, TAC communicates to the general public, making
citizens aware of how their county government serves them; in
turn, it shares the counties' perspective with the state leaders
who can advance their ability to operate in the most effective
manner; and
WHEREAS, The National Association of Counties has
designated April 2023 as National County Government Month; the
observance highlights the many responsibilities handled by
counties, among them public safety and justice, emergency
response, elections management, recordkeeping, health care for
the indigent, and mental health care; and
WHEREAS, Each day, county officials work diligently to
improve quality of life for local residents, and by amplifying
their contributions, the Texas Association of Counties helps to
strengthen communities all across the state; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
Legislature, hereby recognize April 4, 2023, as County
