SR 679 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

In memory of Jimmy Doyle Byrum.

SR 679 is a commemorative resolution passed by the Texas Senate on June 1, 2025, to honor Jimmy Doyle Byrum, a Tyler resident who died on April 8, 2025. The resolution recognizes his military service (including a Purple Heart during the Vietnam War), his careers with the railroad and U.S. Postal Service, and his family life. It extends sympathy to his wife, children, grandson, and other relatives without creating any legal obligations or policy changes. This is a purely ceremonial tribute, not a legislative act with practical effects.
