WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Humane Legislation Network are
gathering at the State Capitol on March 23, 2023; and
WHEREAS, Founded by Texans for Texas Animals in 1975, the
Texas Humane Legislation Network strives to protect animals through
advocacy and education initiatives; the organization is composed of
more than 27,000 members and donors, including animal shelter and
rescue workers and law enforcement personnel, and is led by a board
of directors encompassing a variety of animal law experts; and
WHEREAS, A nonpartisan entity, THLN collaborates with
elected officials in seeking enforceable anti-cruelty measures;
its members also work closely with stakeholders such as
veterinarians, shelter and sanctuary directors, animal control
officers, and prosecutors and judges at the local, state, and
federal levels; and
WHEREAS, For nearly half a century, THLN has worked
tirelessly to improve the welfare of animals throughout the Lone
Star State, and all those associated with the organization are
indeed deserving of commendation for their myriad contributions;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize March 23, 2023, as Texas Humane
Legislation Network Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm
welcome to the visiting delegation; and, be it further
