R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, Lieutenant Stuart J. Alexander of the Corpus Christi
  Police Department lost his life in the line of duty on March 11,
  2009, and his service and sacrifice will not soon be forgotten; and
         WHEREAS, On that day, a routine traffic stop turned violent
  when the driver assaulted the officer who had stopped him and fled
  in his vehicle; in an effort to stop the driver with road spikes,
  Lieutenant Alexander positioned himself on the shoulder of the
  highway some distance ahead, but the driver swerved and fatally
  struck him; at the time of his death, Lieutenant Alexander was 47
  years old and a 20-year veteran of the department; he left behind
  his wife, his son, and three grandchildren; and
         WHEREAS, Our state and nation benefit immeasurably from the
  courage and commitment of law enforcement professionals such as
  Lieutenant Alexander, who willingly put themselves in harm's way
  each day to safeguard the lives and property of their fellow
  citizens; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
  Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life and exemplary service of
  Lieutenant Stuart J. Alexander of the Corpus Christi Police
  Department.
