R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The family and friends of James L. Dannheim of  
Houston were deeply saddened by the passing of this esteemed Texan 
on April 21, 2003, at the age of 67; and
	WHEREAS, Born in Higley, Arizona, Mr. Dannheim grew up in the 
small Central Texas town of Lometa; in high school, he excelled in 
basketball, football, and especially tennis, the sport that 
remained a passion throughout his life; in his 40s, Mr. Dannheim 
achieved a sixth-place ranking in the state; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Dannheim attended Texas A&M for a time, but 
family circumstances did not permit him to complete his degree; 
instead, he moved to Houston and embarked on a number of successful 
real estate and development ventures in the Houston and Lake 
Livingston areas; and
	WHEREAS, One of the first individuals to recognize the need 
for child support enforcement in the private sector, Mr. Dannheim 
showed his entrepreneurial spirit again in later years when he 
established a company to meet that need; and
	WHEREAS, A member of the Sons of the Republic of Texas, he 
took tremendous pride in his Lone Star heritage; he was a 
sixth-generation Texan whose ancestors were among the founding 
families of Fredricksburg; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Dannheim will long be remembered for his strong 
character and lasting devotion to his family and to his state, and 
his memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew him; now, 
therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of 
James L. Dannheim and extend deepest sympathies to the members of 
his family:  to his sons and their spouses, Mike and Karen Dannheim, 
Greg and Edie Dannheim, and Eric and Kristine Dannheim; to his 
grandchildren, Callye Dannheim, Seth Dannheim, Robbie Martinez, 
and David Dannheim; to his brothers, David Dannheim, Al Dannheim, 
Bob Dannheim, and Ernie Dannheim; to his numerous nieces and 
nephews; to his special friend Denise Landers; and to his other 
relatives and many friends; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of 
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of James 
Dannheim.

                                                                          Baxter
