WHEREAS, Constable Carl M. Bisbee of the Nueces County
Constable's Office lost his life in the line of duty on July 6,
1925, and his service and sacrifice will not soon be forgotten; and
WHEREAS, An officer with three years of experience in the

suspects drew handguns and fatally shot both constables; at the
time of his death, he was survived by his wife; and
WHEREAS, Our state and nation benefit immeasurably from the
courage and commitment of law enforcement professionals such as
Constable Carl Bisbee, who willingly place 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
Constable Carl M. Bisbee of the Nueces County Constable's Office.
