|
WHEREAS, Tim Halfin has been deservedly recognized for his |
|
|
role in locating a three-year-old boy who had gone missing in Grimes |
|
|
County; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The child, Christopher Ramirez, had wandered into |
|
|
the dense woods near his home in Plantersville on October 6, 2021, |
|
|
prompting a massive search effort that involved a coalition of 48 |
|
|
agencies; despite searchers working around the clock, several days |
|
|
passed with no sign of the missing toddler; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, After hearing about the case at his Bible study |
|
|
meeting, Tim Halfin decided to join in the search; on the morning of |
|
|
October 9, he spotted Christopher about 10 yards into the forest on |
|
|
the Halfin property; the youngster had traveled five miles from his |
|
|
home, and although tired, hungry, and dehydrated from the journey, |
|
|
he was otherwise unharmed; the news that he had been found alive and |
|
|
safe brought immense relief to his community, and after being |
|
|
treated at hospitals in Houston and The Woodlands, he returned home |
|
|
to his loved ones; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, By taking part in the search for Christopher |
|
|
Ramirez, Tim Halfin helped avert what could have been a terrible |
|
|
tragedy, and his actions have earned the profound gratitude of his |
|
|
fellow Texans; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby honor Tim Halfin for his |
|
|
assistance in the safe return of a missing child and extend to him |
|
|
sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Halfin as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
