The resolution honors the life and legacy of Richard W. B. Davis, a former district judge in Brazos County, who passed away on August 13, 2025, at the age of 61. Born on November 30, 1963, Davis had a distinguished career that included serving as a mechanical engineer at NASA, a captain in the Texas Army National Guard, and a respected judge for both the Brazos County Court at Law and the 272nd District Court of Texas. He was known for his integrity, compassion, and mentorship to young lawyers, as well as his contributions to the local bar association and community organizations.

Davis was also a devoted family man, married to Carolyn for nearly 39 years and a proud father of six children. He was actively involved in their lives, supporting them in their endeavors and sharing memorable moments with them. The resolution expresses heartfelt condolences to his family, including his children and grandchildren, and acknowledges the lasting impact of his dedication to family, faith, and service to his country. The Texas House of Representatives will adjourn in his memory, and an official copy of the resolution will be prepared for his family.
