SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 888
|
|
|
WHEREAS, For over 170 years, the State of Texas has |
|
|
embraced peoples of all nationalities and even citizens of lesser |
|
|
states within these United States of America; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Many of these newly adopted Texans found their way |
|
|
to the great State of Texas as fast as they could and subsequently |
|
|
served this state with distinction and honor; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Despite not having the good fortune of calling |
|
|
the Lone Star State their home, other citizens of these lesser |
|
|
states have instead distinguished themselves by using their |
|
|
professional talents in service to Texas' businesses and |
|
|
citizens; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Finding himself in this second category, Weller |
|
|
Hensell Harris Jr. has indeed served many Texas companies for |
|
|
decades, especially those in the construction and engineering |
|
|
industries; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Weller Hensell Harris Jr. also served the State of |
|
|
Georgia as assistant attorney general in design and construction |
|
|
matters and as the adjunct professor for 20 years at the Georgia |
|
|
Institute of Technology; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For the last 38 years, Weller Hensell Harris Jr. |
|
|
has been the managing partner of Wasson, Sours and Harris, P.C., |
|
|
based in Atlanta; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, While having a commendable life and successful |
|
|
career outside of Texas' expansive borders, Weller Hensell |
|
|
Harris Jr. has always had great affection for this state and is a |
|
|
true Texan in his heart; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend Weller Hensell Harris Jr. on his |
|
|
exceptional achievements and extend best wishes for the future to |

|
|
their two children and five grandchildren; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
