H.R. No. 988 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Deposition Reporters | ||
Association are gathering in Austin on April 18, 2023, in | ||
celebration of Texas Deposition Reporting Day at the State Capitol; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, TEXDRA represents Texas-certified shorthand | ||
reporters and court reporting firms across the state, and it plays | ||
an instrumental role in recruiting, training, and mentoring | ||
individuals in the field of court reporting; the organization also | ||
advocates for measures to promote and modernize the profession; and | ||
WHEREAS, Certified shorthand reporters are regulated by the | ||
Judicial Branch Certification Commission of the Supreme Court of | ||
Texas, and they are integral to the state's judicial system; these | ||
skilled individuals maintain the highest standards of | ||
transparency, honesty, and hard work to ensure that all testimony | ||
is accurately recorded; and | ||
WHEREAS, Over the years, shorthand reporters in Texas have | ||
demonstrated remarkable adaptability and determination; following | ||
the Supreme Court's order to take depositions remotely, they not | ||
only complied with the ruling but also achieved greater efficiency, | ||
resulting in reduced litigation costs; they have also adopted new | ||
technologies such as secure digital transcripts that ensure the | ||
integrity of documents while conserving paper; and | ||
WHEREAS, All those associated with TEXDRA are deserving of | ||
special recognition for their important work and service to the | ||
State of Texas and its courts, and it is indeed a pleasure to | ||
welcome them to Austin on their legislative day; now, therefore, be | ||
it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby recognize April 18, 2023, as Texas Deposition | ||
Reporting Day at the State Capitol and extend to the members of the | ||
Texas Deposition Reporters Association sincere best wishes for | ||
continued success in their endeavors; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the organization as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
