R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, In April of each year, National Crime Victims' 
Rights Week is sponsored by criminal justice and victim service 
practitioners as an occasion to publicize and affirm the rights of 
those who suffer as victims of violent crime; and
	WHEREAS, During this week, many public education and 
community awareness activities are sponsored to help the citizens 
of Texas understand the experience of crime victims and to learn 
about the many critical services available to those who fall prey to 
criminal offenders; and
	WHEREAS, Violent crime affects the lives of countless Texans 
each year, and it is crucial that all citizens be fully aware of 
their legal rights and the full range of services available to crime 
victims, for only in this way can the criminal justice system secure 
the rights of the innocent as well as the guilty; and
	WHEREAS, It is entirely fitting that the Texas House of 
Representatives lend its full support to this worthy observance and 
make every effort to promote greater awareness of crime victims' 
rights in every jurisdiction of this state; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby commend the many dedicated professionals and 
volunteers who are working to secure rights and services for the 
victims of crime and urge all Texans to observe the week of April 24
through May 1, 2006, as National Crime Victims' Rights Week.
