H.R. No. 538 is a resolution honoring the life and contributions of Richard Harold Meyer, who served as the County Judge of Calhoun County until his passing on November 18, 2024, at the age of 74. Born in Port Lavaca on July 5, 1950, Meyer was a dedicated community leader, farmer, and rancher, who also worked in the liquid feed industry. He was actively involved in various organizations, including the Calhoun County Youth Rodeo Association and the Calhoun County Cattlemen's Association, where he served as president for over twenty years.

Meyer was sworn in as Calhoun County judge on January 1, 2019, and was serving his second term at the time of his death.
The resolution expresses condolences to Meyer's family, including his wife Jackie, their two children, and nine grandchildren, and acknowledges his strong faith and active participation in Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church. It highlights his legacy of leadership, integrity, and compassion, which will continue to inspire those who knew him. The Texas House of Representatives unanimously adopted the resolution on May 23, 2025, and it calls for an official copy to be prepared for his family, concluding with a moment of remembrance for Judge Richard Meyer.
