SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 87



	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to 

recognize Constable Ruben Davis on the grand occasion of his 50th 

birthday on August 18, 2005; and

	WHEREAS, A 21-year veteran of the Houston Police 

Department prior to becoming constable of Precinct Two in

Fort Bend County, Ruben has spent nearly half his career in 

community policing programs and projects; he created the first 

Community Liaison Deputy Program in Fort Bend County to work with 

at-risk youths; and

	WHEREAS, Ruben graduated from the University of Houston 

and earned a master's degree from Prairie View A&M University; he 

holds numerous law enforcement certifications, including a 

master police license; and

	WHEREAS, While the milestone of 50 comes as a shock to some 

and a source of anguish to others, it is perhaps best thought of 

as an entire half century to those who reach that venerable age; 

and

	WHEREAS, Now that he has reached the age of 50, Ruben will 

certainly handle with grace the sudden deference to his age and 

concern for his decrepitude that he will receive from his ever 

younger colleagues; and

	WHEREAS, In honor of this grand occasion, Ruben's family 

and friends are meeting at the Lake Olympia Clubhouse on

August 19, 2005, some to commiserate, some to taunt, but one and 

all to celebrate his many contributions to their lives; now, 

therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,

79th Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby extend to

Ruben Davis warm greetings and best wishes on his 50th birthday; 

and, be it further

	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for 

him as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.

                                                                           Ellis









________________________________ 

    President of the Senate

 

    I hereby certify that the 

above Resolution was adopted by
