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 represent over 33,500 officers across local, county, and state levels, making it the largest law enforcement association in Texas. The organization has played a significant role in advocating for law enforcement personnel, providing legal representation, and supporting its members 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 organization's future endeavors. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for TMPA as a token of high regard from the Texas House. The resolution was adopted by the House on May 15, 2025, by a non-record vote.
