  Briscoe; and
         WHEREAS, Ed Walker's dedication, professionalism, and
  expertise have greatly benefited his fellow Texans, and he may
  indeed reflect with pride on his many achievements as he embarks
  upon the next exciting chapter of his life; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
