Jim Wells County adopts resolution honoring Robert C. Allen Sr.
Summary
The Jim Wells County Commissioners Court on Nov. 24 adopted a resolution honoring Robert C. Allen Sr. of Fremont for decades of local civic and business contributions; family members received a framed copy of the resolution. The measure passed by voice vote.
The Jim Wells County Commissioners Court on Nov. 24 adopted a resolution honoring Robert Charles Allen Sr., recognizing his civic service, local entrepreneurship and community traditions in Fremont.
Isabel Trevino, executive assistant to the county judge, read the resolution, which said Allen (born Aug. 12, 1938) served his community for many years and helped establish local institutions and events. The document notes Allen’s work managing municipal gardens, founding local market days and supporting small business development; it directs that a copy of the resolution be presented to the Allen family and entered into the official record.
Judge (name on record) and other court members praised Allen’s local involvement and invited family members forward to receive a framed copy and to take photographs. The court moved to adopt the resolution; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
The adoption was ceremonial and carries no legal or budgetary consequences beyond filing the resolution in the county record. The court indicated the gesture was intended as an official expression of sympathy and recognition of Allen’s lifetime of community service.
The court proceeded to other business after the presentation.
