| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize the Texas Apartment Association on the occasion of its | ||
| 50th anniversary; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The association traces its origins to 1963, when | ||
| individuals from Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin came | ||
| together and created an organization for rental housing owners to | ||
| advocate for fair legislation, to promote professionalism within | ||
| the industry, and to communicate issues of importance to its | ||
| members; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The association has worked with the legislature | ||
| to craft laws that protect the interests of renters and property | ||
| owners alike; concerns over such issues as security deposits, | ||
| habitability standards, ownership disclosures, pool yard | ||
| enclosures, and smoke detectors have been addressed by | ||
| legislation promoted by the association; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Among the practices established by the | ||
| association that have become industry standards across the | ||
| country are standardized lease contract forms and certification | ||
| programs for apartment managers, maintenance staff, and leasing | ||
| professionals; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Texas Apartment Association has played a | ||
| pivotal role in fostering consistent, fair, legal, and | ||
| predictable standards of operation for rental properties across | ||
| the state, and it is truly fitting that this exceptional | ||
| organization be recognized as it achieves this milestone in its | ||
| history; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend the Texas Apartment Association on | ||
| its outstanding efforts in promoting professionalism in the | ||
| housing industry and extend to its members best wishes for a | ||
| memorable 50th anniversary celebration; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| the association as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
| Carona | ||
