R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, With the close of the 79th Session, the Honorable
Jesse Jones will be ending his service in the Texas Legislature,
concluding a 14-year tenure that saw him serve his Dallas County
constituents, and indeed all the citizens of Texas, with integrity
and distinction; and
WHEREAS, A member of the Texas House of Representatives since
the 73rd Legislature in 1993, his professorship in chemistry at
Baylor University and the impressive list of academic titles that
he has earned made Dr. Jones a natural choice for the House of
Representatives Higher Education Committee, where he has been a
member for five of his seven legislative sessions; a strong
proponent of post-secondary studies, he lent his support to a
variety of measures on that subject and helped to secure increased
funding for college scholarships, among other accomplishments; Dr.
Jones has also been a longtime member of the Elections Committee,
joining that group during his first legislative session and serving
as vice chair from 1997 to 2001; and
WHEREAS, A prime example of a concerned citizen who has
maintained his productive professional life while also assuming the
responsibilities of elected office, Dr. Jones has proven his
abilities in both fields and has made immense contributions to his
state as a member of the House and as an educator; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commend the Honorable Jesse
Jones for his notable service as a member of this legislative body
and extend to him warmest best wishes for success and happiness in
the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Representative Jones as an expression of high regard
by his colleagues in the Texas House of Representatives.
