|
|
through his notable service to the Denton County Sheriff's Office; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mark Spears began his law enforcement career in 1984 |
|
|
as a jailer for the Dallas County Sheriff's Office; he went on to |
|
|
hold various positions, including patrol supervisor, narcotics |
|
|
investigator, and CID supervisor with both Dallas and Parker |
|
|
Counties; in 1994, he joined the Rockwall County Sheriff's Office |

|

|
|

RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Deputy Spears as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
