SENATE RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas 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 wide-ranging array 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, County Treasurers Day at the Capitol 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 Senate of the State of Texas, 89th
Legislature, hereby commend the state's county treasurers for
their diligent financial stewardship and their invaluable
contributions to the people and communities of the Lone Star
State and extend to all best wishes for a memorable County
Treasurers Day at the Capitol; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
them as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
