|
|
|
WHEREAS, Oscar Hale has served with exceptional skill and |
|

dedication as chief investigator of the Webb County District |
|
|
Attorney's Office for more than four decades; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A Vietnam veteran, Mr. Hale began his career in law |
|
|
enforcement as a police officer in 1968, at the age of 21; he |
|
|
quickly demonstrated outstanding ability as an investigator and was |
|
|
promoted to the rank of detective with responsibility for handling |
|
|
robbery, homicide, and injury cases; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Hale was named chief investigator in the |
|
|
district attorney's office soon after joining that department, and |
|
|
he is widely admired for his courage, judgment, and work ethic, as |
|
|
well as for his knowledge and experience; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Throughout his remarkable career in law |
|
|
enforcement, O. J. Hale has set a standard of excellence to which |
|
|
others may aspire; the Texas Department of Public Safety is |
|
|
completing a new crime lab in Laredo, and it would be most fitting |
|
|
to recognize Mr. Hale's noteworthy achievements by naming this |
|
|
facility in his honor; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the 84th Legislature of the State of Texas |
|
|
hereby direct the Texas Department of Public Safety to name the new |
|
|
crime lab in Laredo the Oscar "O. J." Hale Crime Lab; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the secretary of state forward an official |
|
|
copy of this resolution to the chair of the board and to the |
|
|
director of the Texas Department of Public Safety. |
