                                                                  H.R. No. 332



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Honorable Ori T. White, district attorney for 
the 112th Judicial District, has during his two terms in office 
worked tirelessly in behalf of his constituents in Crockett, Pecos, 
Reagan, Sutton, and Upton counties, and it is an honor to pay 
tribute to an exemplary prosecutor who has truly helped to make West 
Texas a safer place in which to live; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. White is known throughout legal and law 
enforcement circles as a man of uncompromising integrity, 
commitment, and compassion; over the years he has helped to forge 
strong ties between the district attorney's office and local police 
departments, and these partnerships have resulted in the seizure 
and forfeiture of more than $2.5 million in drug money; and
	WHEREAS, In handling many of our state's most visible murder 
cases, District Attorney White has shown himself to be a passionate 
and eloquent prosecutor with an impressive record of success; a 
champion for victims' rights, he has personally contributed to the 
efforts of Friends For Hope, a local organization that provides 
outreach services to the victims of domestic violence and sexual 
assault, and his office has responded quickly and effectively to 
the needs of abused children and adults; and
	WHEREAS, This outstanding Texan has been an inspiration to 
all those who have had the privilege of working by his side; having 
decided not to run for reelection, Mr. White looks forward to a new 
chapter in his life, in which he will be able to spend more time with 
his wife, Marrianne, and their three sons, Tad, Matthew, and 
Mitchell, and he may look back with pride at his achievements as an 
attorney and officer of the court; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby congratulate the Honorable 
Ori T. White, district attorney for the 112th Judicial District, on 
the occasion of his retirement and extend to him best wishes for 
continued success and happiness in all his endeavors; and, be it 
further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. White as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
