Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 27, introduced by Eckhardt and supported by several legislators, seeks to authorize the burial of Honorable Guy Herman in the State Cemetery of Texas. The resolution highlights Judge Herman's significant contributions to Texas history, particularly in his role as Travis County probate judge since 1985. His tenure is marked by exceptional wisdom and compassion in handling sensitive legal matters, mentoring future legal professionals, and advocating for legislative changes that benefit the legal community and vulnerable populations, especially those with mental health issues.

The resolution emphasizes Judge Herman's dedication to improving the judicial system and mental health care in Texas, including his involvement in the development of the county's hospital district and the establishment of the Judge Guy Herman Center for Mental Health Crisis Care. Given his impactful service and contributions to the state, the resolution concludes that it is appropriate for Judge Herman to be allowed to designate the State Cemetery as his final resting place, contingent upon approval from the State Cemetery Committee.
