H.R. No. 107

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, After 32 years of dedicated service to his fellow
	citizens, Culberson County Judge John Conoly is retiring from
	public office, concluding an impressive tenure marked by myriad
	civic improvements; and
	WHEREAS, Judge Conoly is the second-longest tenured county
	judge in Texas; a testament to his dedication and commitment to the
	men and women he has dutifully served for more than three decades,
	he remembers missing only one meeting of the commissioners court
	during his 32-year tenure as county judge; and
	WHEREAS, In addition to presiding over some 4,000 criminal
	and civil cases at the county court level, Judge Conoly offered
	leadership on initiatives to implement a 24-hour dispatch service,
	as well as a state-of-the-art communication system, in the
	sheriff's office; he also worked closely with county commissioners
	to make improvements to the county jail and create a countywide
	9-1-1 emergency service; and
	WHEREAS, With an eye toward the future, this dynamic
	consensus-builder oversaw the development and construction of
	numerous civic enterprises, including the Senior Citizen Nutrition
	Center, the Courthouse Annex, Veterans Memorial Park, a major
	renovation of the airport, a new and better-equipped fire station,
	and the West Texas Boys and Girls Club facility, to name just a few;
	and
	WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Judge Conoly has relied on the
	love and support of his devoted wife, Martha, and his strong and
	enduring faith; and
	WHEREAS, Judge Conoly's tenure has seen a great deal of
	positive change for the people of Culberson County, and his legacy
	of success and achievement will ensure that he is not soon forgotten
	by his friends and fellow citizens; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas
	Legislature hereby commend Judge John Conoly for his many years of
	service to the citizens of Culberson County and extend to him best
	wishes for joy and happiness in his well-deserved retirement; and,
	be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Judge Conoly as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
