Commemorating the 48th anniversary of the death of Joe Campos Torres of Houston.
This is a commemorative resolution (HR 9), not a substantive bill. It honors Joe Campos Torres, a Houston-born Vietnam War veteran who was killed by Houston police in 1977, on the 48th anniversary of his death. The resolution simply expresses the Texas House's tribute to his life and service, with no policy changes or mechanisms. It follows prior actions including a 2021 Houston Police Department apology and a 2022 memorial plaza dedication.
