  H.R. No. 334
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, The year 2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the
  founding of Underwood Law Firm of Amarillo; and
         WHEREAS, This notable institution was established by Robert
  E. "Judge" Underwood, who studied at The University of Texas and
  taught school in Jack County before pursuing a legal career; and
         WHEREAS, Following his move to Amarillo in 1906,
  Mr. Underwood served as Potter County attorney and helped found the
  local bar association; he further distinguished himself as chair of
  the committee that drafted the first Amarillo city charter, and in
  1912 he started his own law firm, which was originally known as
  R. E. Underwood; and
         WHEREAS, Through the decades, the practice has undergone more
  than a dozen title changes, but remaining consistent have been the
  Underwood name and a tradition of accomplished legal service;
  today, the firm maintains offices in Lubbock, Hereford, and Pampa
  in addition to its home city of Amarillo; and
         WHEREAS, Independent businesses that build a record of
  dependability and longevity are to be commended for the vital role
  they play in furthering the prosperity of the Lone Star State, and
  it is a pleasure to recognize Underwood Law Firm as it celebrates
  its centennial; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
  Legislature hereby honor the Underwood Law Firm on the 100th
  anniversary of its founding and that all those associated with the
  practice be extended sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it
  further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for the Underwood Law Firm as an expression of high regard
  by the Texas House of Representatives.
