WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to
recognize the state's county treasurers and to join them in
celebrating April 8, 2025, as Texas County Treasurers Day at the
State Capitol; and
WHEREAS, Elected by voters for four-year terms, county
treasurers fulfill a range of duties as prescribed by the Texas
Local Government Code and County Commissioners Courts; and
WHEREAS, There are currently 244 county treasurers in Texas,
and two-thirds serve in rural counties with fewer than 25,000
residents; these dedicated public officials serve as chief
custodians of county finances and are tasked with receiving,
disbursing, and providing oversight of all county funds; and
WHEREAS, In addition to performing explicit statutory
duties, county treasurers serve as the chief liaison between their
county and depository banks, and many help to meet their county's
unique needs by providing versatile services; these may include
services in such areas as human resource administration, auditing,
and payroll management, and county treasurers are often entrusted
with providing treasurer duties for various county entities; and
WHEREAS, Texas County Treasurers Day serves as an opportunity
for these esteemed public servants to engage with legislators,
advocate on behalf of their communities, and assist in the
legislative process by offering expertise in the fiduciary aspects
of county governance; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize April 8, 2025, as Texas County
Treasurers Day at the State Capitol and extend to the visiting
delegation sincere best wishes for a memorable visit to Austin.
