SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 205
|
|
|
WHEREAS, Proud members of the Texas Court Reporters |
|
|
Association are visiting the State Capitol on February 15, 2017, |
|
|
in celebration of National Court Reporting and Captioning Week, |
|
|
taking place February 11-18; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Established in the 1930s, the Texas Court |
|
|
Reporters Association works to advance the profession of |
|
|
stenographic court reporting through education, advocacy, and |
|
|
service to its members; the organization helps to develop high |
|
|
standards for those employed in the field and also offers them |
|
|
opportunities to network with their peers and to discuss best |
|
|
practices and important issues confronting the industry; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Court reporters are dedicated to accurately and |
|
|
impartially capturing and preserving the spoken word through |
|
|
stenographic means; in addition to official reporters employed |
|
|
directly by the courts, members of the profession include |
|
|
freelancers, broadcast captioners, and Communications Access |
|
|
Realtime Translation captioners, who are often employed in |
|
|
classroom settings to assist those with impaired hearing; in all |
|
|
of these endeavors, court reporters and captioners use |
|
|
cutting-edge technology in order to translate the spoken word to |
|
|
text with near simultaneity; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Individuals working in this dynamic field |
|
|
contribute immeasurably to the legal system and facilitate a |
|
|
range of communication initiatives, and National Court Reporting |
|
|
and Captioning Week provides a welcome opportunity to recognize |
|
|
their multifaceted profession; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby honor the Texas Court Reporters Association |
|
|
on the occasion of the organization's visit to the State Capitol |
|
|
during National Court Reporting and Captioning Week and extend to |
|
|
the group's members sincere best wishes for success with their |
|
|
important work; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
the association as an expression of high regard from the Texas |
|
|
Senate. |
