WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Court Reporters Association are |
|
|
celebrating Texas Court Reporting and Captioning Day on |
|
|
February 18, 2025; 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 89th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize February 18, 2025, as Texas Court |
|
|
Reporting and Captioning Day 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 TCRA as an expression of high regard by the Texas House |
|
|
of Representatives. |
