WHEREAS, Dale W. Wilson demonstrated remarkable skill and
dedication when he came to the aid of a man suffering from a heart
attack on April 17, 2023; and
WHEREAS, A registered nurse, Mr. Wilson was off duty and
driving on Interstate 35 when he saw a truck swerve and collide
with the concrete barrier along the freeway; he quickly pulled
over his own vehicle and rushed to the scene of the accident,
where he found the driver slumped over in his seat; and

Mr. Wilson began performing CPR as he waited for emergency
medical services to arrive; he later learned that his swift
action had saved the life of the motorist, who had experienced a
heart attack while driving; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Wilson is a mental health nurse and the
director of quality management at Austin State Hospital, where
he has been employed for more than 15 years; his exceptional
skills as a nurse have been instrumental in improving patient
outcomes and have earned him the respect and admiration of his
colleagues; and
WHEREAS, In saving the life of a fellow citizen, Dale
Wilson drew upon his experience in nursing and demonstrated the
compassion, proficiency, and commitment to the well-being of
others for which those in his profession are known, and it is
indeed fitting that he be honored for his selfless act of
heroism; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
