By: Price | H.R. No. 334 |
|
||
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. |
