  • Tmd Seal: Design Elements
    1 How the Texas Military Department Saved the Symbols of Texas The Texas Military Department Seal is derived from the Texas Coat of Arms. This Coat of Arms and the closely related design of the State Seal have a long and storied history in their development, adaptation, misinterpretation of design, and eventual correction thanks to the efforts of the Texas Military Department successor the Adjutant Generals De- partment. The Texas Coat of Arms design predates Texas’ entry to the United States. In 1839 the offi- cial description of the coat of arms was registered as a “White star of five points, on an az- ure ground, encircled by an olive and live oak branches.” the seal would expand on this de- scription to include the words Republic of Texas encircling the entirety of the design. The design would be proposed and passed alongside the proposal of the iconic Lone star flag. No significant changes were proposed to these designs after 1839. Even admission to the union only resulted in a change from “Republic of Texas” to “The State of Texas” in 1845. As the state grew new departments, agencies, local governments and private citizens would customize versions of the seal, some including significant design interpretations not found within the accepted description of the seal. This often included the use of Post Oak leaves in place of Live Oak leaves, the addition of stars and diamonds as design flourishes and inclu- sion of T,E,X,A,S alternating between the point of the star. In 1946, the National Guard Bureau directed state Air Guards to develop a unique symbol to affix to aircraft fuselages, identifying which state owned the aircraft.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Lt. Col. Richard Stackpole April 9, 2021 OFFICE: 615.313.0662 21-14 [email protected] Colonel Jason Glass leads military COVID-19 vaccination efforts in Memphis MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Col. Jason Glass, Tennessee’s Assistant Adjutant General, Air, was named Tennessee’s first Dual-Status Commander for the federally-supported effort to help vaccinate citizens throughout Memphis against COVID-19 on April 1. Dual-Status Commanders serve a critical and unique function during emergencies by commanding both National Guard and active-duty forces. They coordinate and give orders to both state and federal troops, therefore simplifying the command and control of military personnel. The president and governor must both agree to the establishment of a dual status commander in the event of an emergency requiring the need to use multicomponent personnel. In partnership with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and state and local agencies, Glass leads a team of approximately 130 Navy and Marine Corps personnel with the 2nd Marine Division who arrived in Memphis earlier this week. The Sailors and Marines, organized as Vaccine Support Teams, help support a city-run, federally-supported Community Vaccination Center located at the Pipkin building at the Memphis Fairgrounds. In addition, he leads more than 30 Army and Air National Guard personnel also supporting the vaccination efforts in Memphis. “I’m honored to serve in this role,” said Glass. “Any opportunity to command is a blessing, but to be able to have four branches of the service under one multi-component command is a once in a life time opportunity and one that I don’t take lightly.

  • Jerry Patterson, Commissioner Texas General Land Office General Land Office Texas STATE AGENCY PROPERTY RECOMMENDED TRANSACTIONS
    STATE AGENCY PROPERTY RECOMMENDED TRANSACTIONS Report to the Governor October 2009 Jerry Patterson, Commissioner Texas General Land Office General Land Office Texas STATE AGENCY PROPERTY RECOMMENDED TRANSACTIONS REPORT TO THE GOVERNOR OCTOBER 2009 TEXAS GENERAL LAND OFFICE JERRY PATTERSON, COMMISSIONER INTRODUCTION SB 1262 Summary Texas Natural Resources Code, Chapter 31, Subchapter E, [Senate Bill 1262, 74th Texas Legislature, 1995] amended two years of previous law related to the reporting and disposition of state agency land. The amendments established a more streamlined process for disposing of unused or underused agency land by defining a reporting and review sequence between the Land Commissioner and the Governor. Under this process, the Asset Management Division of the General Land Office provides the Governor with a list of state agency properties that have been identified as unused or underused and a set of recommended real estate transactions. The Governor has 90 days to approve or disapprove the recommendations, after which time the Land Commissioner is authorized to conduct the approved transactions. The statute freezes the ability of land-owning state agencies to change the use or dispose of properties that have recommended transactions, from the time the list is provided to the Governor to a date two years after the recommendation is approved by the Governor. Agencies have the opportunity to submit to the Governor development plans for the future use of the property within 60 days of the listing date, for the purpose of providing information on which to base a decision regarding the recommendations. The General Land Office may deduct expenses from transaction proceeds.
