H.R. No. 961
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Texas Municipal Police Association is
celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2025; and
WHEREAS, TMPA was founded in 1950 by a group of officers from
Houston, San Antonio, Fort Worth, Waco, Austin, and Abilene who
sought to provide law enforcement personnel with professional
representation at the local and state level; the organization
eventually opened its membership to all law enforcement agencies
across Texas, and it has grown to become the largest law enforcement
association in the state; today, the organization represents more
than 33,500 officers at the local, county, and state levels; and
WHEREAS, During the 2010s, TMPA became a founding member of
the Texas Law Enforcement Council, which unites law enforcement
labor groups in furthering their common goals and supporting state
policies that align with their shared interests; in addition to its
advocacy efforts, TMPA has provided legal representation and
fraternal support to its members, and it has played an instrumental
role in responding to natural disasters; and
WHEREAS, For three quarters of a century, the Texas Municipal
Police Association has rendered exceptional service to the many law
enforcement officers who help to protect our communities, and it is
a pleasure to join in recognizing the organization on this
milestone occasion; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Texas
Municipal Police Association and extend to all those affiliated
with the organization sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for TMPA as an expression of high regard by the Texas House
of Representatives.
