WHEREAS, James E. Epperson, Jr., of Rocksprings ably served |
|
|
the people of Edwards County as a county commissioner for 11 years, |
|
|
and his dedication and expertise have earned him the respect of many |
|
|
people along the way; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Serving as commissioner for Precinct 3 from 1997 |
|
|
through 2008, Mr. Epperson distinguished himself by helping to |
|
|
improve the retirement program for Edwards County employees and by |
|
|
working with the Texas Department of Transportation to upgrade the |
|
|
Edwards County Airport; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This esteemed Texan played an important role as well |
|
|
in the construction of the much-needed Edwards County Annex, which |
|
|
provided more office and courtroom space, and in the improvement of |

the financial standing of the county while also lowering the tax |
|
|
rate over the long term; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A native of Edwards County, Mr. Epperson continues |
|
|
to ranch on land settled by his grandparents in the early 1900s, and |

business; with his tenure as a public servant behind him, James |
|
|
Epperson may take great pride in his exemplary record of |
|
|
achievement and in his many contributions to area residents; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend James E. Epperson, Jr., on his three |
|
|
successful terms as an Edwards County commissioner and extend to |

|
|
be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
