R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Throughout its history, the State of Texas has
  maintained a commitment to the principle of private property
  rights, and since its creation in 1920, the Texas Association of
  REALTORS and its members have supported this vital principle; and
         WHEREAS, Each day, REALTORS provide valuable professional
  services that enable their fellow Texans to buy, sell, lease,
  develop, and manage real estate in a knowledgeable and confident
  manner, while helping to preserve the free enterprise system and
  the right to own real property; and
         WHEREAS, Over the years, Texas REALTORS have worked
  diligently within the regulatory process to promote and raise their
  business practices, and the term "REALTOR" has come to stand for
  competence, fairness, and integrity; and
         WHEREAS, The more than 95,000 members of the Texas
  Association of REALTORS have consistently supported responsible
  government as well as the entrepreneurial spirit that is the
  backbone of our state's economy, and its members are indeed worthy
  of special recognition at this time; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize April 14, 2015, as REALTOR
  Appreciation Day at the State Capitol and extend to the visiting
  members of the association sincere best wishes for an informative
  and enjoyable day; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for the Texas Association of REALTORS as an expression of
  high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
