By:  Solomons                                                     H.R. No. 292



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Over their long and admirable history, the state's 
credit unions have provided their members with an array of 
much-needed financial services; and
	WHEREAS, The first credit union was founded in 1848, with the 
goal of easing the distress of farmers during a time of famine; 
operating with an underlying philosophy that members should pool 
their resources for mutual benefit and individual flexibility, the 
world's credit unions can now boast more than 100 million members, 
including 6.5 million Texans; and
	WHEREAS, Committed to customer satisfaction and solid 
financial stewardship, Texas credit unions strive to meet their 
members' needs by offering such services as checking, savings, 
IRAs, money market accounts, a variety of loan options, and the many 
modern conveniences necessary to handle money matters in an 
expeditious manner; and
	WHEREAS, Credit unions enable many Texans to more 
successfully manage their finances, playing a vital role in 
creating a brighter future for our citizenry, and it is indeed 
appropriate that these institutions receive special legislative 
recognition at this time; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby commend all those associated with Texas credit 
unions for their significant contributions to the economy of the 
Lone Star State.
