WHEREAS, Former state representative Judy Hawley has been | ||
named a 2018 inductee of the Texas Transportation Hall of Honor, and | ||
this achievement is indeed a fitting acknowledgement of her | ||
outstanding record of service; and | ||
WHEREAS, Part of the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, the | ||
Texas Transportation Hall of Honor recognizes individuals who have | ||
distinguished themselves as leaders in the state's transportation | ||
industry; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ms. Hawley was elected as state representative for | ||
Texas House District 31, and in the course of a legislative tenure | ||
that spanned from 1995 to 2003, she served as vice chair of the | ||

to devote her time and expertise to transportation issues as a | ||
member of the Port of Corpus Christi Commission for more than a | ||
decade before retiring in 2016 as commission chair; and | ||
WHEREAS, Under Ms. Hawley's skillful guidance at the port | ||
commission, the Corpus Christi area saw significant rail and ship | ||
channel expansion that helped accommodate transportation needs | ||
related to energy and military deployment; this dynamic Texan also | ||
served as chair of the I-69 Advisory Committee, guiding the | ||
development of the corridor, which links ports, waterways, rail, | ||
airports, and highways throughout the state, and she has played an | ||
instrumental role in the U.S. Highway 181 Harbor Bridge replacement | ||
project; and | ||
WHEREAS, The prosperity of the Lone Star State depends on the | ||
safe and effective transportation of people and goods, and through | ||
her leadership, dedication, and vision, Judy Hawley has made | ||
significant contributions that will benefit her fellow citizens for | ||
years to come; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate the Honorable Judy Hawley on her | ||
induction into the Texas Transportation Hall of Honor and extend to | ||
her sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
