H.C.R. No. 46 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Court Reporters Association are | ||
celebrating Texas Court Reporting and Captioning Week from February | ||
9 to 16, 2019; and | ||
WHEREAS, Since the 1930s, the association has worked to | ||
advance the field of stenographic reporting through education and | ||
advocacy; TCRA 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 86th Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
hereby recognize February 9 to 16, 2019, as Texas Court Reporting | ||
and Captioning Week 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 the association as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives and Senate. | ||
