H.R. No. 1614
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is joining with
  the Texas Association of Counties in recognizing May 3, 2017, as
  County Government Day at the State Capitol; and
         WHEREAS, This event complements the April 2017 observance of
  National County Government Month, which is sponsored by the
  National Association of Counties and which provides citizens with
  an opportunity to learn more about county government; and
         WHEREAS, The oldest form of local government in the United
  States, county government addresses many critical issues,
  including environmental protection, health care, special
  assistance for the elderly, job training, and public safety; and
         WHEREAS, Texas is divided into 254 counties, the most of any
  state in the country; the dedicated officials and employees of
  these jurisdictions not only work diligently to meet the needs of
  residents without placing an undue burden on taxpayers but also
  strive to find solutions to problems that affect people across the
  Lone Star State, and they truly merit commendation for their
  countless contributions in behalf of their fellow citizens; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize May 3, 2017, as County Government Day
  at the State Capitol; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for the Texas Association of Counties as an expression of
  high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
