R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The peace officers who routinely put themselves in 
harm's way to safeguard the lives and property of their fellow 
citizens are truly deserving of every Texan's admiration and 
gratitude, and the professional organizations that represent these 
exemplary public servants are likewise great assets to the 
community; and
	WHEREAS, The El Paso County Sheriff's Officers Association is 
one such group which seeks to promote benevolent and fraternal 
activities among its membership; moreover, its objectives include 
the promotion of communication between its members, the improvement 
of working conditions and benefits, and maintaining allegiance to 
the laws of this state and nation; and
	WHEREAS, Founded in 1978, the group was originally composed 
of sheriff's deputies but eventually grew to include detention 
officers, and now boasts more than 770 men and women who serve in 
these notable professions; and
	WHEREAS, The association also seeks to contribute to the 
greater good through its many charitable works, and its association 
with such worthwhile organizations as the Crime Victims Counsel, 
the Advocacy Center for the Children of El Paso, the El Paso Cancer 
Research Center, Hospice of El Paso, and the March of Dimes has 
greatly benefited area residents; and
	WHEREAS, By combining their own professional goals with a 
larger vision that encompasses the entire community, the members of 
the association offer an inspiring example of dedication to 
bettering the lives of others; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby honor the El Paso County Sheriff's Officers 
Association and extend to its members sincere best wishes for 
continued success.
