	H.R. No. 655



	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Honorable Terry Bailey retired as judge of the
	Panola County Court at Law in 2022, drawing to a close an exemplary
	tenure in office that spanned more than two decades; and
	WHEREAS, Terry Bailey was first elected judge of the Panola
	County Court at Law in 1999, and in the decades since, he has
	distinguished himself through his outstanding service to the
	county's residents and through his astute leadership of county
	government operations; over the course of his tenure, he has
	presided over countless cases involving probate, eminent domain,
	juveniles, and misdemeanors, as well as both civil and criminal law
	matters that fall under concurrent jurisdiction with the district
	court; and
	WHEREAS, Prior to taking office, Judge Bailey worked as an
	attorney in private practice for 24 years; a member of the State Bar
	of Texas, he earned his law degree from South Texas College of Law
	in 1974, and he has been admitted to practice before the U.S.
	Supreme Court, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, the Eleventh
	Circuit Court of Appeals, and the Texas Eastern District Court; and
	WHEREAS, Although Judge Bailey plans to stay active in the
	legal field, retirement will afford him more time to spend with his
	family; and
	WHEREAS, Through his dedication, professionalism, and
	commitment to the law, Judge Terry Bailey has greatly benefited the
	citizens of Panola County, and he may indeed reflect with pride on
	his accomplishments as he embarks on the next exciting chapter of
	his life; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate Judge Terry Bailey on his
	retirement from the Panola County Court at Law and extend to him
	sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Judge Bailey as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
