R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Throughout its history, the State of Texas has
  maintained a commitment to the principle of private property
  rights, and since its creation in 1920, the Texas Association of
  REALTORS and its members have supported this vital principle; and
         WHEREAS, Each day, Texas REALTORS provide valuable
  professional services that enable their fellow Texans to buy, sell,
  lease, develop, and manage residential and commercial real estate
  in a knowledgeable and confident manner, while helping to preserve
  the free enterprise system and the right to own real property; and
         WHEREAS, Over the years, Texas REALTORS have worked
  diligently within the regulatory process to promote and raise the
  caliber of their business practices, and the term "REALTOR" has
  come to symbolize competence, integrity, and a high regard for
  ethics; and
         WHEREAS, The more than 110,000 members of the Texas
  Association of REALTORS have consistently advocated for
  responsible government as well as the entrepreneurial spirit that
  is the backbone of our state's economy, and its members are indeed
  worthy of special recognition at this time; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize April 4, 2017, as REALTOR Appreciation
  Day at the State Capitol and extend to the visiting members of the
  association sincere best wishes for an informative and enjoyable
  stay in Austin; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for the Texas Association of REALTORS as an expression of
  high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
