By:  King of Zavala                                               H.R. No. 1364



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Those peace officers who lose their lives in the 
line of duty are truly deserving of the gratitude of every Texan, 
and it is with heavy hearts and a deep sense of indebtedness that we 
pay tribute to the memory of Senior Patrol Agent Travis Wayne 
Attaway of the United States Border Patrol, who perished in the 
waters of the Rio Grande on September 19, 2004, at the age of 31; and
	WHEREAS, Agent Attaway and two fellow officers were 
conducting a patrol near Los Indios on that date when their craft 
capsized in turbulent water; and
	WHEREAS, Although a nearby patrol boat responded to the 
distress signal quickly enough to save one of the officers, Agent 
Attaway and another agent were lost in the rain-swollen river; and
	WHEREAS, The possibility of such sudden and shocking loss of 
life is the constant companion of the nation's peace officers, who 
willingly and routinely face danger in behalf of their fellow 
citizens, and Agent Attaway's sacrifice is a sobering reminder of 
this dedication; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Senior Patrol Agent 
Travis Wayne Attaway of the United States Border Patrol and extend 
sincere sympathy to his family and friends; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the members of his family and that when the Texas House 
of Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Senior 
Patrol Agent Travis Attaway.
