H.R. No. 157

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Court Reporters Association are
	celebrating Texas Court Reporting and Captioning Week from
	February 4 to 11, 2023; and
	WHEREAS, Since the 1930s, TCRA has worked to advance the
	field of stenographic reporting through education and advocacy; the
	association is dedicated to promoting the accuracy and impartiality
	that are the hallmarks of the courtroom professional, and the group
	provides its members with a valuable forum for discussion and
	study; and
	WHEREAS, Court reporters undergo several years of training to
	achieve different levels of certification; they develop typing
	speeds upwards of 280 words per minute, allowing them to capture
	every word of legal proceedings; in addition, they are required to
	complete continuing education courses throughout their careers to
	ensure that they remain at the forefront of technological
	developments and that they have full knowledge of current
	procedures in their industry; and
	WHEREAS, Court reporters play a vital role in our nation's
	legal system, and this observance offers an ideal opportunity to
	acknowledge their important contributions; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize February 4 to 11, 2023, as Texas Court
	Reporting and Captioning Week and extend to the members of the Texas
	Court Reporters Association sincere best wishes for continued
	success in their endeavors; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the association as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
