R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Jeff Jeter, assistant sergeant-at-arms for the 
Texas House of Representatives, celebrated his 30th birthday on May 
4, 2006, and this dedicated public servant can truly say he has 
given some of the best years of his life to the State of Texas; and
	WHEREAS, Hired by the sergeant-at-arms office at the tender 
age of 21, Mr. Jeter has, for the past nine years, been charged with 
maintaining order in the hall of the house, a task seldom associated 
with the average 20-something; and
	WHEREAS, Despite witnessing firsthand the long hours of 
numerous legislative sessions, Mr. Jeter, oddly enough, keeps 
coming back for more; and 
	WHEREAS, Mr. Jeter is an active volunteer at Town Lake Animal 
Shelter and also enjoys gardening, possessing a particular passion 
for flowers; this trait was perhaps beneficial in the wooing of his 
wife, Amy, whom he met while working in the sergeant-at-arms 
office; and
	WHEREAS, Members of the Texas House of Representatives are 
fortunate to have individuals such as Jeff Jeter working in their 
midst, and he is most worthy of special recognition; now, 
therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby congratulate Jeff Jeter on 
the celebration of his 30th birthday and extend best wishes to him 
for continued success and happiness; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. Jeter as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
