Flags lowered to half-staff in memory of Cong. Ron Wright
28 News 02/08/2021 1269Texas has lost a principled leader and dedicated public servant upon the death of Congressman Ron Wright of Arlington. As a mark of respect and in memory of this public servant, it is fitting that flags be lowered to half-staff in his honor.
Therefore, pursuant to Sections 3100.065 and 443.024(e) of the Texas Government Code and Title 4 of the U.S. Code (4 U.S.C. § 1 et seq), the flags of the State of Texas and the United States of America shall be lowered statewide to half-staff immediately in honor of the life and public service of United States Representative Ronald Jack Wright of the Sixth Congressional District in Texas. Flags should return to full-staff at sunrise on Wednesday, February 10, 2021.
In addition, flags in the counties of Ellis, Navarro, and Tarrant may also be flown at half-staff on the day of his final internment. Individuals, businesses, and other political subdivisions and entities are encouraged to fly their flags at half-staff for the same length of time as a mark of respect.
On behalf of Texas, the First Lady and I offer our thoughts and prayers to the Wright family in their time of mourning. I urge all Texans to appropriately remember Congressman Wright’s life of service to our state and nation.
Respectfully,
Greg Abbott
Governor
