The resolution recognizes the significant contributions of Judge Guy Herman to Texas history and seeks to authorize his burial in the State Cemetery, contingent upon approval from the State Cemetery Committee. Judge Herman, a graduate of The University of Texas School of Law, has served as the Travis County probate judge since 1985, demonstrating exceptional wisdom and compassion in handling sensitive legal matters. His leadership has been instrumental in the growth of the probate court, mentoring future legal professionals and advocating for beneficial changes in state laws.

Throughout his career, Judge Herman has focused on protecting vulnerable populations, particularly in mental health issues, and has played a key role in developing services that support individuals with mental illness. His contributions include the establishment of the Judge Guy Herman Center for Mental Health Crisis Care, named in his honor, which reflects his commitment to improving mental health care in the community. Given his extensive service and impact on Texas law and society, the resolution proposes that he be allowed to designate the State Cemetery as his final resting place.
