The Texas Senate has passed a resolution honoring the life and legacy of Paul McCann, who passed away on February 4, 2025, at the age of 83. Born in Egypt, Texas, on February 5, 1941, he was the youngest of eleven siblings and worked on the family farm while pursuing his education. After serving in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War, McCann had a distinguished career with the Houston Police Department, where he became one of the first African American officers to be promoted to sergeant. He retired in 1993 and later worked as a Harris County investigator. Throughout his life, he was deeply involved in his community and church, Good Hope Baptist Church, where he served in various capacities.

The resolution expresses heartfelt condolences to McCann's family, including his wife Patricia, their three children, five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. It acknowledges his dedication to family, faith, and community, highlighting the respect and admiration he earned from those who knew him. The Senate has resolved to prepare an official copy of the resolution for his family and to adjourn in his memory.
