H.R. No. 282
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Court Reporters Association are
celebrating Texas Court Reporting and Captioning Day on
February 18, 2025; and
WHEREAS, Since the 1930s, TCRA has worked to advance the
field of stenographic reporting through education and advocacy; the
association is dedicated to promoting the accuracy and impartiality
that are the hallmarks of the courtroom professional, and the group
provides its members with a valuable forum for discussion and
study; and
WHEREAS, Court reporters undergo several years of training to
achieve different levels of certification; they develop typing
speeds upwards of 280 words per minute, allowing them to capture
every word of legal proceedings; in addition, they are required to
complete continuing education courses throughout their careers to
ensure that they remain at the forefront of technological
developments and that they have full knowledge of current
procedures in their industry; and
WHEREAS, Court reporters play a vital role in our nation's
legal system, and this observance offers an ideal opportunity to
acknowledge their important contributions; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize February 18, 2025, as Texas Court
Reporting and Captioning Day and extend to the members of the Texas
Court Reporters Association sincere best wishes for continued
success in their endeavors; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for TCRA as an expression of high regard by the Texas House
of Representatives.
