Quitman was recognized with this rare distinction; and | ||
WHEREAS, Since beginning his training in Tae Kwon Do in 1980, | ||

accolades; in addition, he has helped train police officers across | ||
the state in defensive tactics and has been featured in episodes of | ||
COPS and Walker, Texas Ranger; in 2011, he opened the Quitman Karate | ||
Academy, where he continues to share his expertise as a Tae Kwon Do | ||
instructor; and | ||
WHEREAS, David Sheffield has made immeasurable contributions | ||
to his sport and to his fellow citizens through a lifetime of | ||
purposeful endeavor, and he may take justifiable pride in his | ||
recent black belt achievement; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate David Sheffield on being | ||
designated an Eighth Degree Black Belt Grand Master and extend to | ||
him sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
