his wife, Leatha, and four children, Charles, Timothy, Catherine, |
|
|
and Lauren; and |
|
|

|
|
life of honorable public service, Clint Greenwood will long be |
|
|
remembered for his devotion to his loved ones, his contributions as |
|
|
both an attorney and a peace officer, and his longtime dedication to |
|
|
the people of Harris County; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Assistant Chief |
|
|
Deputy Clinton Greenwood and extend heartfelt condolences to his |
|
|
family, his friends, and his fellow officers; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
