	H.R. No. 3137



	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Meredith Earwood has provided valuable public
	service to the people of the great State of Texas as scheduler and
	legislative assistant in the office of State Representative Four
	Price since before the opening of the 83rd Texas Legislature; and
	WHEREAS, Ms. Earwood has applied her academic knowledge and
	gained practical hands-on experience in Texas government through
	the Agricultural and Natural Resources Policy Internship Program of
	Texas A&M University; and
	WHEREAS, This accomplished young woman was selected for her
	internship assignment by the office of Representative Price after
	an extensive interview process, during which she stood out by
	virtue of her mature, well-reasoned, and succinct responses to the
	many and varied questions posed to intern candidates; and
	WHEREAS, Ms. Earwood is capably handling the many diverse
	responsibilities assigned to her in the role of scheduler and
	legislative assistant; her key office duties have included relaying
	incoming communications to the appropriate office staff, greeting
	visitors, handling daily correspondence, and resolving constituent
	concerns; moreover, she has assisted with constituent casework,
	ensured the timely arrival of groups being recognized in the house
	chamber, overseen the representative's schedule, tracked
	agricultural and water policy issues, and met with constituent and
	advocacy groups regarding those policy areas; and
	WHEREAS, Known for her ardent commitment to agriculture, Ms.
	Earwood has interacted with numerous agricultural associations
	that have voiced positions on a host of legislative issues; she has
	also served during the session as the staffer assigned by the
	office's chief of staff to the House Natural Resources Committee,
	where she assisted Representative Price in successfully passing
	Senate Bill 1282, relating to groundwater districts; and
	WHEREAS, Well liked by her fellow Price staffers for her team
	spirit and can-do attitude, friendly personality, and strong
	"ranching" work ethic and habits, Ms. Earwood has consistently
	arrived well before the appointed time and readily worked late,
	remained calm and collected under pressure, demonstrated a genuine
	desire to learn any task she was assigned, and completed all her
	assignments in a responsible and timely fashion; and
	WHEREAS, After working this summer in Representative Price's
	Capitol office, Ms. Earwood will return for her senior year to her
	beloved Texas A&M University to complete her undergraduate degree
	in agricultural leadership and development; following graduation,
	she plans to pursue a master's degree in water management, and she
	is exploring the idea of attending law school; given her work ethic
	and the legislative experience she has gained at the Capitol, this
	Fightin' Texas Aggie will undoubtedly excel in achieving her future
	goals; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
	Legislature hereby commend Meredith Earwood for her public service
	as scheduler and legislative assistant in the office of State
	Representative Four Price, thank her for her exemplary and noble
	work in behalf of the citizens of Texas, 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. Earwood as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.

	Price
