By:  Miller                                                       H.R. No. 603



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Reaching the pinnacle of success in his sport, 
Trevor Brazile of Anson has been named the 2002 All-Around Cowboy of 
the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA); and
	WHEREAS, Rodeo is a challenging and often perilous sport that 
requires both extraordinary physical skill and outstanding 
concentration to successfully compete at the highest level, and Mr. 
Brazile has shown himself to be a world champion in this regard; and
	WHEREAS, This exceptional athlete has earned numerous 
accolades throughout his rodeo career on local, state, and national 
levels; just two years after joining the PRCA, Mr. Brazile showed 
his mettle by becoming the 1998 Timed Event Champion of the World, 
which has proven to be the first of a growing number of 
championships for him; and
	WHEREAS, In 2002, already established as the reserve world 
steer roping champion, Mr. Brazile came to the Wrangler National 
Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas as one of only 12 cowboys to qualify for 
three events:  calf roping, team roping, and steer roping; in the 
10th and final round, in front of a sold-out crowd of 17,681 at the 
Thomas & Mack Center, his determination and hard work were justly 
rewarded when he claimed the coveted world title; and
	WHEREAS, The sport of rodeo occupies a prominent place in our 
state's rich athletic heritage, and Mr. Brazile has added another 
memorable chapter to the enduring legacy of athletic excellence in 
the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate Trevor Brazile on becoming the 2002 
PRCA All-Around World Champion and extend to him sincere best 
wishes for continued success and happiness; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. Brazile as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
