	WHEREAS, When Flo Edgerly of Bridge City stepped down as  
justice of the peace for Precinct 3 on January 1, 2003, she brought 
to a close a distinguished 22-year career in that office; and
	WHEREAS, In 1982, Judge Edgerly was appointed to fill the

with fairness, integrity, and compassion; and
	WHEREAS, Judge Edgerly earned the lasting respect of her 
colleagues and fellow citizens for her thoroughness and dedication; 
she worked tirelessly to fulfill her duties, which have ranged from 
attending pronouncements of death to reprimanding truant 
schoolchildren, but no matter how daunting the task, she still 
found the strength to comfort those who have suffered and to provide 
answers to their questions in their time of need; and
	WHEREAS, In recognition of Judge Edgerly's contributions to 
the Bridge City Fire and Rescue Department, especially in the areas 
of rapid response and administrative assistance, the department 
named its rescue boat the Miss Flo; and
	WHEREAS, A devoted wife and mother as well, she has been 
supported in her many endeavors by her husband, Gene, and their two 
sons, Todd and John; and
	WHEREAS, This remarkable Texan has served the residents of  
Precinct 3 with the utmost distinction, and she may take great pride 
in knowing that she has made a positive difference in the lives of 
countless individuals through her outstanding public service; now, 
therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby commend the Honorable Flo Edgerly for her 
exemplary tenure as Precinct 3 justice of the peace in Bridge City 
and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued success and 
happiness; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Judge Edgerly as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
