Bill Summary · HR 364

Legislative bill overview

HR 364 is a commemorative resolution honoring the memory of retired judge L. Clifford Davis of Arlington. The bill was introduced by Representative Nicole Collier and passed through the Texas House as a memorial resolution with no record vote required.

Why is this important

Memorial resolutions serve an official legislative function by creating a formal public record acknowledging the contributions of notable citizens. While non-binding, such resolutions recognize public service and allow the legislature to honor individuals who have made significant impacts in their communities and the judicial system.

Potential points of contention

  • Ceremonial vs. substantive use of legislative time: Critics may question whether legislative resources should be devoted to memorial resolutions rather than policy-focused bills
  • Selective memorialization: Questions about which individuals receive legislative memorials and whether the selection process is equitable or politically influenced
  • Non-record voting: The use of a "nonrecord vote" means there is no documented account of how individual representatives voted, limiting legislative transparency on even ceremonial measures
