The resolution honors Richard L. Jankovsky III, who is set to retire from the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) in 2025 after an impressive 23-year career. A veteran of the United States Coast Guard, Jankovsky joined DPS in 2002 and has held various positions across multiple locations, ultimately achieving the rank of lieutenant in 2010. His contributions include significant involvement in hurricane response operations and border security efforts, as well as serving as president of the DPS Officers Association for seven years, where he advocated for his colleagues during legislative sessions.

The resolution also highlights Jankovsky's commitment to community service alongside his family, including volunteering for organizations like Driscoll Children's Hospital and the St. Baldrick's Foundation, and organizing hunting trips for young patients and children of fallen law enforcement officers. The Texas House of Representatives expresses its congratulations on his retirement and extends best wishes for his future endeavors, recognizing his leadership and dedication to public service throughout his career. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of appreciation.
