H.R. No. 1708

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Officer Jonathan Sosa of the Arlington Police
	Department has deservedly been presented with a Police Officer's
	Award for his heroic actions in the line of duty; and
	WHEREAS, While on routine patrol, Officer Sosa noticed smoke
	in the roadway and quickly ascertained that it was coming from a
	nearby duplex that had caught on fire; he immediately notified the
	residents of the adjoining unit, helping four adults and two
	children to escape the blaze unharmed; he then kicked in the door of
	the burning residence, but he was unable to enter due to the
	intensity of the flames; and
	WHEREAS, Officer Sosa subsequently contacted the occupants
	of neighboring homes, making them aware of the fire and helping them
	to evacuate as well; no citizens were injured as a result of the
	fire, thanks in large measure to the tenacity and quick thinking of
	this dedicated public servant; and
	WHEREAS, Every day, the peace officers of Texas come to the
	aid of individuals in dangerous situations, and in providing vital
	aid in an emergency, Officer Jonathan Sosa has exemplified the
	highest ideals of his profession; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby commend Officer Jonathan Sosa on his receipt of
	the Police Officer's Award from the Arlington Police Department and
	extend to him sincere best wishes for continued success with his
	important work; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Officer Sosa as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
