WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Deposition Reporters |
|
|
Association are gathering in Austin on April 18, 2023, in |
|
|
celebration of Texas Deposition Reporting Day at the State Capitol; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, TEXDRA represents Texas-certified shorthand |
|
|
reporters and court reporting firms across the state, and it plays |
|
|
an instrumental role in recruiting, training, and mentoring |
|
|
individuals in the field of court reporting; the organization also |
|
|
advocates for measures to promote and modernize the profession; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Certified shorthand reporters are regulated by the |
|
|
Judicial Branch Certification Commission of the Supreme Court of |
|
|
Texas, and they are integral to the state's judicial system; these |
|
|
skilled individuals maintain the highest standards of |
|
|
transparency, honesty, and hard work to ensure that all testimony |
|
|
is accurately recorded; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Over the years, shorthand reporters in Texas have |
|
|
demonstrated remarkable adaptability and determination; following |
|
|
the Supreme Court's order to take depositions remotely, they not |
|
|
only complied with the ruling but also achieved greater efficiency, |
|
|
resulting in reduced litigation costs; they have also adopted new |
|
|
technologies such as secure digital transcripts that ensure the |
|
|
integrity of documents while conserving paper; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, All those associated with TEXDRA are deserving of |
|
|
special recognition for their important work and service to the |
|
|
State of Texas and its courts, and it is indeed a pleasure to |
|
|
welcome them to Austin on their legislative day; now, therefore, be |
|
|
it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize April 18, 2023, as Texas Deposition |
|
|
Reporting Day at the State Capitol and extend to the members of the |
|
|
Texas Deposition 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 organization as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
