1-1 WHEREAS, State Trooper Jim Alexander is retiring from the
1-2 Department of Public Safety, bringing to a close an exceptional
1-3 career spanning more than three decades in law enforcement; and
1-4 WHEREAS, Joining the Abilene Police Department in October
1-5 1958, he distinguished himself throughout his tenure with the
1-6 department, earning not only the commendation of his superiors and
1-7 of his fellow peace officers but the respect and admiration of the
1-8 community he served, and his service record as an Abilene police
1-9 patrolman was filled with an eloquent testimony to his indomitable
1-10 courage, integrity, and dedication; and
1-11 WHEREAS, After many years of sterling service with the
1-12 Abilene Police Department, Patrolman Alexander turned in the badge
1-13 he had worn with great pride to join the Department of Public
1-14 Safety as a state trooper in the late 1960s; and
1-15 WHEREAS, Assigned to the Gulf Coast community of Pasadena,
1-16 Trooper Alexander was on duty when the first driver's license
1-17 division opened there; steadfast and reliable, he became a fixture
1-18 in the Pasadena unit, setting an outstanding professional example
1-19 for the many state troopers who served with him over the years and
1-20 who looked to the DPS veteran for inspiration, guidance, and
1-21 leadership; and
1-22 WHEREAS, The public, too, became aware of his dedication to
1-23 the community, benefiting both by the valuable assistance he
1-24 rendered to individual citizens in the course of his duties and by
2-1 his continued involvement in civic and community service
2-2 organizations in the city; and
2-3 WHEREAS, Often going above and beyond the call of duty in
2-4 carrying out his difficult tasks, Trooper Alexander throughout his
2-5 exemplary career has been a credit to himself, to all Department of
2-6 Public Safety troopers, and to all of the fine men and women in the
2-7 law enforcement profession whose selfless dedication to the public
2-8 welfare enable us to enjoy the benefits of a peaceful and orderly
2-9 society; and
2-10 WHEREAS, It is fitting, then, on the occasion of his
2-11 retirement, that the members of this body join his fellow peace
2-12 officers and the citizens of Pasadena in bestowing well-deserved
2-13 praise and recognition on this outstanding public servant; now,
2-14 therefore, be it
2-15 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 73rd Texas
2-16 Legislature hereby honor Department of Public Safety Trooper Jim
2-17 Alexander for his outstanding record of meritorious service to the
2-18 community and extend best wishes for a happy and rewarding
2-19 retirement; and, be it further
2-20 RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
