H.R. No. 1207

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Texans everywhere are indebted to the courageous men
and women of the law enforcement profession who, by their selfless
dedication to the public welfare, have enabled us to enjoy the
benefits of a peaceful and orderly society; and
WHEREAS, Too seldom recognized and often taken for granted by
the public they so faithfully serve, these gallant individuals
daily risk their lives in order to ensure domestic tranquility and
to protect the lives and property of others; and
WHEREAS, Officer Henry Canales of the Houston Police
Department exemplified in his personal and professional conduct the
admirable virtues of courage, integrity, and unwavering
dedication; and
WHEREAS, Throughout his 15 years and 11 months on the force,
he garnered a record of meritorious service, loyalty, bravery, and
self-sacrifice consistent with the highest ideals of the law
enforcement profession; and
WHEREAS, Killed in the line of duty on June 23, 2009, Officer
Canales will long be missed by his family, his fellow peace
officers, and the entire community; and
WHEREAS, Through the years, the notable legacy of Officer
Canales will endure and continue to be a source of inspiration for
those who follow in this difficult but essential profession; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Officer Henry Canales
of the Houston Police Department and extend deepest sympathy to his
family, friends, and fellow officers; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Officer
Canales.
