Commending Maggie Albrecht for her service as district director for Galveston County in the office of State Representative Terri Leo Wilson.
Summary
H.R. 997 is a simple congratulatory House resolution honoring Maggie Albrecht for her service as district director for Galveston County in the office of State Representative Terri Leo Wilson during the 89th Texas Legislature. The resolution praises her professionalism, initiative, resourcefulness, and contributions to advancing Representative Wilson’s legislative agenda and helping address constituent concerns across Texas.
The resolution also notes Ms. Albrecht’s background as a native Texan, her education at the University of Houston-Clear Lake, her career in marketing, and her community and humanitarian involvement, including work in the arts and local service projects. It concludes by formally commending her and directing that an official copy be prepared for her as a mark of appreciation from the Texas House of Representatives.
Impact
H.R. 997 does not change state law, create new programs, appropriate funds, or amend any statutes. Its effect is ceremonial only: it places the Texas House’s official recognition on the record and provides a formal commendation to an individual public employee for her service in a legislative office.
Sentiment
The sentiment around the bill is uniformly positive. The resolution was adopted by the House by a non-record vote, and the text itself is entirely laudatory, reflecting appreciation for Ms. Albrecht’s public service, community involvement, and support of legislative work. The absence of recorded opposition or debate suggests it was treated as a routine local and consent matter.
Contention
There is no notable substantive contention in the available record. Because the resolution is honorary and nonbinding, it does not appear to have generated policy disagreement, and no committee transcript or recorded votes indicate any opposition. Any discussion would likely have been limited to recognition of Ms. Albrecht’s service rather than debate over legislation.
