R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The retirement of Renil C. "Ren" Linér of San Marcos 
as commissioner of the Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification 
Board brings to a close the career of this distinguished public 
servant; and
	WHEREAS, A graduate of San Jose State University, where he 
earned a bachelor of arts degree in social science, Mr. Linér 
received his master of arts degree in education from California 
Polytechnic State University and became a Ph.D. candidate at Oregon 
State University; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Linér brought to his commissioner's post the 
diverse experience he gained from previous positions in the fields 
of education, business, and state government; after working in an 
administrative capacity for a number of universities from 1966 to 
1981, he owned and operated Candie's Ice Cream Parlor and Sandwich 
Shoppe until 1985, when he became chief examiner with the Texas Real 
Estate Commission; Mr. Linér  ably served in that position until he 
was hired in 1989 to be the agency's director of appraiser 
certification; and
	WHEREAS, In 1991, Mr. Linér was named commissioner for the 
Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board by a nine-person 
board appointed by the governor; in establishing this new state 
agency, he planned and provided for all facets of its operation, 
implementing the examination program, coordinating with other 
state agencies to work with the state budgetary and legislative 
process, and creating working relationships with other state and 
federal officials; and
	WHEREAS, Demonstrating an uncompromising integrity and 
commitment to excellence, Mr. Linér may take great pride in knowing 
that during his tenure with the State of Texas he made significant 
and lasting contributions to his profession and to the people of the 
Lone Star State, and his dedicated service is truly appreciated; 
now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Ren Linér on 
his retirement as commissioner of the Texas Appraiser Licensing and 
Certification Board and extend to him best wishes for many happy and 
rewarding years ahead; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. Linér as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
