WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is joining with |
|
|
the Texas Association of Counties in recognizing April 30, 2019, as |
|
|
County Government Day at the State Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This event complements the April 2019 observance of |
|
|
National County Government Month, which is sponsored by the |

National Association of Counties and which provides citizens with |
|
|
an opportunity to learn more about county government; and |

|
WHEREAS, The oldest form of local government in the United |

|
|
WHEREAS, Texas is divided into 254 counties, the most of any |
|
|
state in the country; the dedicated officials and employees of |
|
|
these jurisdictions not only work diligently to meet the needs of |
|
|
residents without placing an undue burden on taxpayers but also |
|
|
strive to find solutions to problems that affect people across the |
|
|
Lone Star State, and they truly merit commendation for their |
|
|
countless contributions in behalf of their fellow citizens; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize April 30, 2019, as County Government |
|
|
Day at the State Capitol; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the Texas Association of Counties as an expression of |
|
|
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
