  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a remarkable public 
servant, the Honorable Brad Bradley. For more than 25 years, Judge 
Bradley has made innumerable professional and philanthropic 
contributions to the people and communities of Northeast Tarrant 
County.
  Judge Bradley has continually given of his time and service to the 
people of this area, especially to its youth. Judge Bradley's non-
profit organization, Carroll Education Foundation, has provided over 
$1,000,000 in scholarships and grants to the teachers and students in 
Carroll ISD.
  Judge Bradley also founded Northeast Tarrant County's first Teen 
Court, allowing high school students to be tried in a court and jury of 
their peers, encouraging a better understanding of the judicial system. 
Judge Bradley's MetroPort Teen Court Bar Association also encourages 
teens to pursue an education in law.
  In addition to engaging teens' interests in the judicial system, 
Judge Bradley helps over 33,000 children in Northeast Tarrant County 
each year with his program, Summer Santa. He recognized a need for 
children needing assistance and has provided funds for camp 
scholarships, medical checkups, and clothing through Summer Santa. 
Judge Bradley's most recent venture, the Pro Players Foundation, 
benefits disadvantaged children.
  Today, Judge Bradley receives the Lifetime Community Service Award 
presented by Southlake Style Magazine in recognition of his exemplary 
contributions to the city of Southlake. It is my great privilege to 
recognize Judge Brad Bradley for the generosity and commitment he has 
shown to the people of Southlake and surrounding areas.
