H.R. No. 961 is a resolution commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Texas Municipal Police Association (TMPA) in 2025. Founded in 1950 by law enforcement officers from several major Texas cities, TMPA has grown to become the largest law enforcement association in the state, representing over 33,500 officers across various levels of law enforcement. The organization has played a significant role in advocating for the interests of its members, providing legal representation, and offering support during natural disasters. Additionally, TMPA was a founding member of the Texas Law Enforcement Council, which aims to unite law enforcement labor groups in pursuit of common goals.
The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' recognition of TMPA's exceptional service over the past 75 years and extends best wishes for the future to all affiliated with the organization. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of high regard from the Texas House of Representatives. The resolution was adopted on May 15, 2025, by a non-record vote.
