SR 245 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Recognizing Joe E. Ramirez Jr. on the occasion of his retirement.

This is a ceremonial Senate resolution (SR 245), not a bill with policy changes. It formally recognizes U.S. Army Brigadier General (Ret.) Joe E. Ramirez Jr. for his retirement as Vice President for Student Affairs at Texas A&M University. The resolution highlights his 31-year military career, leadership at Texas A&M (including as 45th Commandant of the Corps of Cadets), and community service. The Texas Senate passes this resolution to express "high regard" and extend "sincere best wishes" for his retirement, with no legislative effect beyond this expression of honor.
