  Award, PlainsCapital's highest honor; and
         WHEREAS, Judge Dalby was first elected as Garza County Judge
  in 1971 and, at the time of his retirement in 2007, was the longest

  Museum; and
         WHEREAS, Judge Dalby's name will continue to live on through
  the Giles W. Dalby Correctional Facility named after him in Post,
  Texas; and
         WHEREAS, A lifelong man of faith, he served as an Elder at
  First Presbyterian Church of Post, where he stood as a positive
  example of faith in action; and

  great sorrow to those who knew him, his life stands as an
  outstanding example of positive community involvement, and his
  achievements will be remembered and admired for years to come; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
  Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Giles W. Dalby and

  so in memory of Giles W.
  Dalby.
