H.R. No. 1882 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Hannah Kunkle retired as district clerk for Collin | ||
County on December 31, 2010, drawing to a close a notable career in | ||
public service that spanned nearly four decades; and | ||
WHEREAS, The longest-serving district clerk in Collin County | ||
history, Ms. Kunkle was first elected in 1986 and went on to serve | ||
six four-year terms; her responsibilities included keeping, | ||
protecting, and preserving the judicial records of the Collin | ||
County District Courts in compliance with the Texas Constitution | ||
and fulfilling the statutory duties required of the custodian of | ||
those vital records; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ms. Kunkle first joined the district clerk's office | ||
in 1971, shortly after the creation of the 199th District Court, the | ||
county's first full-time district court; over the course of her | ||
long tenure, the office underwent many changes, and information | ||
once recorded in handwritten index ledgers of court cases is now | ||
entered and accessed through a seamless electronic filing system; | ||
this transition required the digital imaging of cases dating back | ||
to the county's establishment in 1846; and | ||
WHEREAS, The effective operation of government depends on the | ||
contributions of committed public servants, and Hannah Kunkle may | ||
indeed take pride in her accomplishments as she begins the next | ||
exciting chapter of her life; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Hannah Kunkle on her retirement as | ||
Collin County district clerk and extend to her sincere best wishes | ||
for the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Ms. Kunkle as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
