H.R. No. 282 is a resolution recognizing February 18, 2025, as Texas Court Reporting and Captioning Day, in honor of the contributions made by the Texas Court Reporters Association (TCRA). The TCRA has been dedicated to advancing the field of stenographic reporting since the 1930s through education and advocacy, emphasizing the importance of accuracy and impartiality in legal proceedings. Court reporters undergo extensive training to achieve certification and maintain high typing speeds, which are essential for capturing legal discourse. They also engage in ongoing education to stay updated with technological advancements and industry practices.

The resolution acknowledges the vital role that court reporters play in the legal system and expresses the Texas House of Representatives' appreciation for their work. It extends best wishes to the TCRA for their continued success and directs that an official copy of the resolution be prepared as a formal expression of regard. The resolution was adopted by the House on March 13, 2025, by a non-record vote.
