HR 1259 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

In memory of former state representative Fred Charles Head of Athens.

This is a commemorative resolution (not a substantive bill), honoring former Texas State Representative Fred Charles Head of Athens. It memorializes Head, who served 15 years in the Texas House (1967-1982), represented districts 15 and 14, chaired committees, and was part of the "Dirty Thirty" anti-corruption coalition. The resolution formally recognizes his life, career as an attorney, and family legacy, and directs the House to prepare a copy for his family. It has no policy impact or direct effect on constituents, as it is purely a symbolic tribute.
