The resolution honors the Honorable David M. Cobos upon his retirement as Midland County justice of the peace for Precinct 2, effective February 1, 2025, after a notable 46-year career in the justice system. Appointed in 1997, Judge Cobos was re-elected unopposed and is recognized for implementing the Justice Court Alternative Sentencing Program, which aimed to divert juvenile offenders from the criminal justice system and reduce school dropout rates. His efforts in modernizing the judicial process, including electronic filing and online payment options, have made the system more efficient and accessible. Throughout his career, he received numerous accolades, including the JPCA T. A. Vines Award and multiple Judge of the Year honors.

The resolution expresses the Texas Legislature's congratulations to Judge Cobos for his dedication and contributions to the fair administration of justice, highlighting his integrity and the respect he earned from colleagues and citizens. It also extends best wishes for his future endeavors and calls for an official copy of the resolution to be prepared as a token of high regard from the Texas House of Representatives and Senate.
