	H.R. No. 473



	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, In 2010, Debra Sue Miears retired as secretary of
	the Quitman Rotary Club and as the director of Wood County Adult
	Probation, drawing to a close her accomplished tenure with those
	two notable organizations; and
	WHEREAS, Ms. Miears began her service with the Quitman Rotary
	Club in 1997, and through the years she provided vital support to
	the group in its efforts to alleviate poverty, hunger, and
	illiteracy and to promote education and career development; her
	volunteer work garnered her recognition in perpetuity from the
	Quitman Rotary Club Board of Directors; and
	WHEREAS, In her role as the Wood County Adult Probation
	director, this dedicated professional oversaw a staff of
	misdemeanor and felony officers who supervised more than 600
	probationers in 2010 alone; she joined the department in 1980 and
	made vital contributions to the rehabilitation of offenders and to
	the protection of the public for 30 years; and
	WHEREAS, The daughter of the late Dixie Todd, Ms. Miears has
	enjoyed the love and support of her stepfather, B. W. Todd, and her
	sister, Stephanie Todd Hankins, in all her endeavors; her
	retirement affords her more time to spend with her nephew, Briar
	Hankins; and
	WHEREAS, Embodying the Rotary motto of "Service Above Self,"
	Ms. Miears has performed work of lasting benefit to the local
	community in assisting the Quitman Rotarians and through her
	employment with the county, and her impressive achievements in both
	positions stand as tribute to her unwavering commitment to the
	greater good; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate Debra Sue Miears on her retirement
	as secretary of the Quitman Rotary Club and as director of Wood
	County Adult Probation and extend to her sincere best wishes for
	happiness in the years ahead; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Ms. Miears as an expression of high regard by the Texas
	House of Representatives.
