SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 195

	WHEREAS, Members of the Tax Assessor-Collectors Association
of Texas are observing their Legislative Day at the State Capitol 
on February 23, 2005, and this occasion provides a fitting 
opportunity to pay tribute to this outstanding group; and
	WHEREAS, Organized in 1934, the association was created 
through the unification of two separate organizations, the Tax 
Assessors Association and the Tax Collectors Association; and
	WHEREAS, The group held its first meeting on May 21, 1935, 
in Lubbock, with the goals of securing the benefits of an organized
effort, exchanging ideas and discussing mutual problems, and 
establishing an annual conference; and

association's first president, and Paul Williams was elected as 
secretary-treasurer, a position he held for nearly a decade;

years, and his exceptional leadership is credited with providing 
solid direction for the association; and
	WHEREAS, Since its inception, the association has worked 
diligently in behalf of the tax assessors and collectors across 
Texas, and its efforts include support for four-year terms of 
office and a retirement system for county officials; in addition,

and today, members come from most of the state's 254 counties; 
and
