| WHEREAS, Proud members of the Texas Court Reporters | ||
| Association are visiting the State Capitol on February 15, 2017, | ||
| in celebration of National Court Reporting and Captioning Week, | ||
| taking place February 11-18; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Established in the 1930s, the Texas Court | ||
| Reporters Association works to advance the profession of | ||
| stenographic court reporting through education, advocacy, and | ||
| service to its members; the organization helps to develop high | ||
| standards for those employed in the field and also offers them | ||
| opportunities to network with their peers and to discuss best | ||
| practices and important issues confronting the industry; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Court reporters are dedicated to accurately and | ||
| impartially capturing and preserving the spoken word through | ||
| stenographic means; in addition to official reporters employed | ||
| directly by the courts, members of the profession include | ||
| freelancers, broadcast captioners, and Communications Access | ||
| Realtime Translation captioners, who are often employed in | ||
| classroom settings to assist those with impaired hearing; in all | ||
| of these endeavors, court reporters and captioners use | ||
| cutting-edge technology in order to translate the spoken word to | ||
| text with near simultaneity; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Individuals working in this dynamic field | ||
| contribute immeasurably to the legal system and facilitate a | ||
| range of communication initiatives, and National Court Reporting | ||
| and Captioning Week provides a welcome opportunity to recognize | ||
| their multifaceted profession; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
| Legislature, hereby honor the Texas Court Reporters Association | ||
| on the occasion of the organization's visit to the State Capitol | ||
| during National Court Reporting and Captioning Week and extend to | ||
| the group's members sincere best wishes for success with their | ||
| important work; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| the association as an expression of high regard from the Texas | ||
| Senate. | ||
| Uresti | ||
| ________________________________ | ||
| President of the Senate | ||
| I hereby certify that the | ||
| above Resolution was adopted by | ||
| the Senate on February 15, 2017. | ||
