SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 567
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize the Texas Office of Court Administration on the |
|
|
occasion of its 40th anniversary; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Since its establishment in 1977, the Office of |
|
|
Court Administration has served as the central repository of |
|
|
statistical information for the Texas judicial system; from |
|
|
providing statistics about the salaries and demographics of |
|
|
judges to case filing and disposition records, the Office of |
|
|
Court Administration has been a source of vital information for |
|
|
the judiciary, the legislature, and the public for 40 years; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The methods of collecting this information have |
|
|
evolved greatly to meet the changing demands of the times, and |
|
|
today, interested stakeholders can review online data from the |
|
|
almost 130,000 monthly reports submitted annually by Texas |
|
|
courts; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The agency also serves as a resource to provide |
|
|
technical assistance, consultation, and research for the courts, |
|
|
and it assists the Texas Legislature and Supreme Court with |
|
|
staffing for boards, commissions, and task forces; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The vast majority of judicial work relies heavily |
|
|
on professional court administration, and the Office of Court |
|
|
Administration will continue to play an integral role in the |
|
|
efficient and effective operation of the state's justice system |
|
|
long into the future; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend all associated with the Texas Office |
|
|
of Court Administration for their crucial contributions to the |
|
|
Texas judiciary and to the public and extend to them |
|
|
congratulations on 40 years of success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
the office as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
