HR 421 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

In memory of Kenneth Lee Chapman of Eastland County.

This is a commemorative resolution (not a policy bill) honoring Kenneth Lee Chapman of Eastland County. It formally recognizes Chapman's life, community service (including 22 years on the Eastland County Water Supply District board), family, and career (e.g., owning Ken's Motorcycle Shop and Grandpaw's Tool Shed Rental). The resolution extends sympathy to his wife, daughters, grandsons, and other family members. It has no policy impact or effect on laws, as it is solely a ceremonial tribute adopted by the Texas House of Representatives.
