Congratulating Dr. M. D. Morrison Sr. on his receipt of a 2025 Outstanding Texan Award from the Texas Legislative Black Caucus.
HR 1046 is a ceremonial resolution congratulating Dr. M. D. Morrison Sr. on receiving the 2025 Outstanding Texan Award from the Texas Legislative Black Caucus. It recognizes his service as a Baptist pastor, his role as the first African American minister deputized by the Victoria County Sheriff's Office, and his leadership of the Minister's Coalition of Harris County, which provides community aid. The resolution has no policy impact - it simply expresses the Texas House of Representatives' approval and sends a formal copy to Dr. Morrison. This is a standard commemorative resolution with no legislative effect.
