SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 589

	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to join
the Texas Association of Counties in recognizing April 13, 2005, 
as County Government Day at the Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, The week of April 11 through 15, 2005, is being 
observed by the National Association of Counties as National 
County Government Week to provide the nation's citizens with an 
opportunity to honor the work of county governments; and
	WHEREAS, The oldest form of local government in the
United States, county governments address many critical issues, 
including environmental protection, indigent health care, 
special assistance for the elderly, job training, and public 
safety; and
	WHEREAS, There are 254 counties in Texas, and those 
dedicated individuals who serve our counties as elected or 
appointed officials not only work diligently to meet the needs of 
citizens without placing an undue burden on taxpayers but also 
commit themselves to finding solutions to problems that will 
benefit all Texans; and
	WHEREAS, The Texas Association of Counties encourages 
citizens across the state to observe National County Government 
Week by learning more about this vital form of local government 
and the many ways in which it serves the public; now, therefore, 
be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
79th Legislature, hereby commend the county officials of this state
for their countless contributions to Texas and welcome members of 
the Texas Association of Counties to the State Capitol; and, be 
it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in 
honor of the counties and county officials of Texas.
                                                                           Madla
