	WHEREAS, Michael Lee retired as director of engineering and
	safety operations for the Texas Department of Transportation on
	July 31, 2021, drawing to a close an outstanding tenure with the
	agency that spanned nearly 24 years; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Lee earned a bachelor's degree in petroleum
	engineering from Texas A&M University in 1988 and began his career
	by running his own water well firm in Northeast Texas; he first
	joined TxDOT in 1997 as an engineering assistant, and over the
	years, he has held a variety of positions, including transportation
	engineer, area engineer for San Augustine and Nacogdoches, and
	director of operations for the Paris District; and
	WHEREAS, In 2014, Mr. Lee was named director of the
	Maintenance Division, where he cultivated a culture that emphasized
	customer service, collaboration, and accountability, and in 2017,
	he took on his most recent role as director of engineering and
	safety operations; his myriad contributions to the agency have
	helped TxDOT to become a national model in responding to
	emergencies and severe weather events; and
	WHEREAS, With his professionalism, leadership, and
	commitment to excellence, Michael Lee has earned the lasting
	respect and admiration of his colleagues, and he may indeed reflect
	with pride on his many accomplishments as he begins the next
	exciting chapter of his life; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
	Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby congratulate Michael Lee on
	his retirement as the Texas Department of Transportation director
	of engineering and safety operations and extend to him sincere best
	wishes for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Mr. Lee as an expression of high regard by the Texas
	House of Representatives.
