	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Respected oilman Deane Stoltz is being honored for
	his notable career with his posthumous induction into the Petroleum
	Hall of Fame on April 18, 2013; and
	WHEREAS, The Petroleum Hall of Fame, which is based at the
	Permian Basin Petroleum Museum in Midland, recognizes individuals
	who have made outstanding contributions to the development of the
	petroleum industry or who have inspired others through their
	achievements, service, or strength of character; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Stoltz was born in Ottumwa, Iowa, on April 3,
	1929; he graduated from Northwestern University and went on to
	serve in the U.S. Navy before settling in Midland in 1955;
	originally working as an independent oil operator, he went on to
	partner with Cyril Wagner and Jack Brown to form Stoltz and Company;
	and
	WHEREAS, The business later merged with Tipperary Land and
	Exploration, which Mr. Stoltz served as president and chair of the
	board; following his resignation in 1989, he drew on his many
	decades of experience to establish his own independent oil and gas
	company; and
	WHEREAS, This engaged Texan was active in his community,
	serving as president of the Midland ISD board of trustees, chair of
	the Alexis de Tocqueville Society, and officer of the local United
	Way; he was also a charter member of the Midland Community Theatre
	board of trustees and chair of the Midland Presbyterian Homes board
	of trustees and the Permian Basin Area Foundation; and
	WHEREAS, West Texas lost this esteemed business and civic
	leader when he passed away on January 29, 2006, at the age of 76; and
	WHEREAS, Deane Stoltz truly distinguished himself as an
	influential figure in an industry that is such a vital part of the
	Texas economy, and he is indeed a worthy addition to the hall of
	fame; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
	Legislature hereby honor the memory of Deane Stoltz on the occasion
	of his induction into the Petroleum Hall of Fame and pay tribute to
	him for his many worthwhile accomplishments; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Mr. Stoltz's family as an expression of high regard by
	the Texas House of Representatives.
