                                 ______
                                 

                    HON. FRANCISCO ``QUICO'' CANSECO

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 2, 2012

  Mr. CANSECO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Joaquin Jackson's 
induction into the Texas Heroes Hall of Honor. Haynie Joaquin Jackson 
was born in Anton, Texas and served as a Texas Ranger from 1966 to 
1993. During his career, Joaquin was committed to protecting our border 
communities and ensuring justice was served to those who broke the law. 
Also during his time, he saw the Rangers transition into the modern law 
enforcement agency it is today.
   After being featured on a 1994 cover of Texas Monthly magazine, the 
retired Ranger became personified as the modern Texas Ranger. Joaquin 
appeared in several movies, including: The Good Old Boys with Tommy Lee 
Jones, Rough Riders and the Streets of Laredo, Palo Pinto Gold and 
Poodle Dog Lounge.
   As a constituent of mine in Alpine, Texas, I am proud to 
congratulate Mr. Jackson on his outstanding life achievements and 
induction into the Texas Heroes Hall of Honor.
