H.R. No. 103 is a commemorative House resolution honoring the life and service of Oscar Rolando Correa of Salado, Texas, who died on July 31, 2025. The resolution recounts his career as a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department game warden, including his rise to lieutenant and major game warden and his management of field operations across 24 Central Texas counties. It also recognizes his later public service as Bell County constable for Precinct 2 and his long involvement in church and mission work through the Salado United Methodist Church and related ministries.
The resolution further highlights Mr. Correa’s family life, including his marriage of more than 45 years, his three children, and his grandchildren, and it expresses sympathy to his relatives and friends. As a ceremonial measure, the bill does not change substantive law or create new statutory duties; instead, it directs that an official copy be prepared for the family and that the House adjourn in his memory. The measure is a formal expression of respect and condolence by the Texas House of Representatives.
Impact
H.R. No. 103 has no effect on the Texas Government Code, Penal Code, or any other substantive statute. Its legal impact is limited to a legislative tribute: it records the House’s condolences, authorizes an official copy for the family, and memorializes the adjournment of the House in Mr. Correa’s honor. The resolution affects no regulated parties and imposes no obligations, funding changes, or policy directives.
Sentiment
The sentiment around the resolution is uniformly positive and respectful. The text emphasizes Mr. Correa’s decades of public service, faith-based outreach, and devotion to family, presenting him as a well-regarded community servant whose life inspired admiration. The voting history reflects that tone as well: the House unanimously adopted the resolution by a rising vote, indicating broad bipartisan support and no recorded opposition.
Contention
There is no notable policy contention in the bill itself, because it is a memorial resolution rather than substantive legislation. No committee debate or recorded objections are provided, and the unanimous adoption suggests no disagreement over the tribute. Any discussion would likely have centered on honoring Mr. Correa’s law enforcement career, constable service, and church and mission work, rather than on legislative controversy.
