MINOR

The document appears to be a House Resolution (HR 1511) rather than a bill, and the changes are primarily formatting and layout adjustments. The substantive content of the resolution remains unchanged - it commends Region VII of the Texas Department of Public Safety for their security work at the Capitol Complex and recognizes specific officers by name. The text was reformatted from a compact layout to a more spaced-out format, likely for printing or accessibility purposes.

TECHNICAL

Text formatting and spacing were adjusted throughout the document, with some lines reorganized and additional blank lines inserted for readability. The actual policy content, names of recognized individuals, and resolution language remain identical.
