H.R. No. 1462 is a resolution commending State Representative Tom Craddick and his wife, Nadine Craddick, for their significant contributions to the physician assistant profession and health care education in Texas. Mr. Craddick, the longest-serving member of the Texas Legislature, has been instrumental in advocating for policies that enhance educational opportunities for aspiring physician assistants and has played a key role in expanding access to health care. His efforts include securing state funding for the expansion of the Physician Assistant Studies Program at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Health Professions.

In recognition of their dedication, the program was renamed the Nadine and Tom Craddick Physician Assistant Studies Program in October 2024. The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' high regard for the Craddicks and their enduring commitment to improving health care education in the state. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for them as a token of appreciation.
