Summary
H.R. 1034 is a congratulatory House resolution honoring Dr. Dedra Frazier, a licensed psychologist and owner of Psychology Works in Brazoria County, for being named the 2025 Rural Business Owner of the Year by the SBA Houston District Office. The resolution recites her education, professional background, community involvement, and service to youth, families, law enforcement, and local organizations, and it expresses the Texas House’s appreciation for her contributions.
The measure does not create, amend, or repeal any state law. It is a ceremonial resolution that directs the preparation of an official copy for Dr. Frazier and serves as a formal expression of recognition by the Texas House of Representatives. Its practical effect is limited to public acknowledgment and commendation rather than any regulatory or fiscal change.

The language of the resolution emphasizes Dr. Frazier’s professional achievement, community service, and leadership, reflecting a consensus to honor her publicly.
