In memory of James Bobbitt of the Flower Mound Fire Department.

HR 88 is a memorial resolution honoring James Bobbitt, a Flower Mound Fire Department firefighter who passed away on December 12, 2024. The resolution commemorates his 17-year career, including two "Firefighter of the Year" awards, his mentorship of recruits, and his advocacy to add esophageal cancer to Texas' presumptive cancer list for firefighters. It does not create new laws or policies; instead, it formally pays tribute to Bobbitt's service and extends sympathy to his family.
