H.R. No. 803
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Texas State Representative Bob Griggs is retiring
from the Texas Legislature, and it is indeed fitting at this time to
reflect on his service to the people of Texas; and
WHEREAS, First elected to the House in 2003, Dr. Griggs has
distinguished himself as a thoughtful and effective legislator, and
his consensus-building abilities have greatly benefited both
constituents and colleagues; and
WHEREAS, His background in education and school
administration earned him assignment to the Committee on Public
Education, and subsequently the Select Committee on Public School
Finance and the Joint Working Group on School Finance, where his
professional experience was an enormous asset; and
WHEREAS, During his two terms in the Texas House, Dr. Griggs
also served as vice chair on the Committee on Border and
International Affairs, and in the 79th Legislature he also served
as a member of the Pensions and Investments Committee; and
WHEREAS, A vital and valued member of the community, Dr.
Griggs has been accorded numerous honors, including being named a
Northeast Leadership Forum Distinguished Community Leader and the
Northeast Tarrant Chamber of Commerce Community Leader of the Year,
and he also received Abilene Christian University's Distinguished
Alumni Award; and
WHEREAS, As he looks forward to spending more time with his
family, Dr. Griggs may take pride in his efforts as a state
representative and community leader; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby honor Dr. Bob Griggs on the
occasion of his retirement from the Texas Legislature and extend to
him sincere best wishes for continued success and happiness; and,
