||
WHEREAS, For more than two decades, the Honorable Oscar O. | ||
Martinez has served with distinction as a justice of the peace in | ||
Webb County, and it is indeed fitting to name the Precinct 4 court | ||
building in his honor; and | ||
WHEREAS, Judge Martinez was elected as justice of the peace | ||
for Precinct 4, Place 1, in 1991; during his tenure, he has worked | ||
diligently to combat truancy and disciplinary problems, and, in | ||
conjunction with the United States Border Patrol, he leads a new | ||
program for at-risk youth; he has been recognized on numerous | ||
occasions by the United Independent School District and other local | ||
agencies for his commitment to improving the lives of area | ||
students; and | ||
WHEREAS, Active in a number of professional organizations, | ||
Judge Martinez has served as director of the South Texas Justice of | ||
the Peace and Constable Association and was a founder of the Texas | ||
Justice Court Judges Association; moreover, he has attended the | ||
College of Justice Court Judges; and | ||
WHEREAS, This notable Texan is a veteran of the United States | ||
Air Force and an alumnus of Texas A&I University, and he is a | ||
previous director of the Laredo International Fair & Exposition; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Judge Martinez has greatly benefited the people of | ||
Webb County through his exceptional public service and many | ||
contributions to the community, and naming the Precinct 4 court | ||
building for him would provide an appropriate tribute; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the 83rd Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
hereby urge the Webb County Commissioners Court to name the | ||
Precinct 4 court building in honor of Judge Oscar O. Martinez; and, | ||
be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That the secretary of state forward an official | ||
copy of this resolution to the Webb County Commissioners Court. |
