	WHEREAS, Those Texans who give freely of their time and 
talents to benefit the larger community make the world a better 
place through their actions and their example, and Joe V. Boerner, 
Jr., of Lubbock is one such person; and
	WHEREAS, A native of San Antonio, Mr. Boerner moved to 
Lubbock after earning his law degree from The University of Texas at 
Austin in 1958, and since that time he has distinguished himself as 
a leader in the community; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Boerner made his reputation as a partner at the 
firm of Crenshaw, Dupree & Milam before forming his own law firm, 
Boerner & Dennis, in 1993; and
	WHEREAS, Highly esteemed by his professional peers, Mr. 
Boerner is a former director of both the Lubbock County Junior Bar 
Association and the Lubbock County Senior Bar Association and has 
served on the State Bar of Texas Forms Committee; and
	WHEREAS, His intelligence and integrity have made him much 
sought after as an advisor to organizations and institutions, and 
he has served as director of the Lubbock Club, the Lubbock Urban 
Renewal Commission, and the South Plains Guidance Center, as a 
trustee of the Lubbock Regional Mental Health & Mental Retardation 
Center, and as a member of the Lubbock State School Public 
Responsibility Committee; and
	WHEREAS, A charter member of the Associated Republicans of 
Texas, he is well known for his active interest in political life, 
and he was voted the Outstanding Republican of Lubbock County in 
1985; and
	WHEREAS, His love of young people finds expression in both 
his civic activities, such as his past directorship of Lubbock 
Little League and Pony League, and in his close relationship with 
his seven grandchildren, who over the years have taken great 
delight in their grandfather's signature "Black Buzzard" stories; 
and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Boerner takes pride and pleasure in his family, 
especially in Linda, his loving wife of 25 years, and in his 
children, Rebecca Jones, Joseph Victor Boerner III, and John 
Gregory Boerner; and
	WHEREAS, Though it is impossible to gauge the full effect of a 
man's life, some individuals leave their unmistakable mark on the 
world as they move through it, and Joe Boerner's contributions to 
his community continue to resonate in the lives of all who know him; 
now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby honor Joe V. Boerner, Jr., for his many efforts 
in behalf of his fellow Texans; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. Boerner as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
