  Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Britton Brooks 
of Sherman, Texas, and present him with the Congressional Patriot 
Award. Britton is an outstanding lawyer and prosecutor who has 
dedicated himself to serving and protecting our community.
  Britton was born in Tyler, Texas. In 2004, he graduated from Austin 
College with a bachelor's degree in psychology and received his Juris 
Doctor from St. Mary's School of Law three years later. For fifteen 
years, Britton served as the assistant district attorney for Collin 
County and Grayson County and is well renowned for successfully 
prosecuting numerous felony cases involving murderers and child 
predators. In 2018, he established a private practice specializing in 
family law and personal injury. For his excellent work and efforts, 
Britton was named Sherman Community Leader of the Year twice and 
selected as the Best of Texoma criminal, family, and divorce attorney 
in 2019.
  When he is not in the courtroom, Britton is actively involved in 
numerous community and charitable initiatives. He served three terms on 
the State Republican Executive Committee for SD 30 and was a board 
member for the Sherman Independent School District, Grayson County 
Crisis Center, and Sherman Chamber of Commerce. Additionally, Britton 
was the previous President of the Sherman Kiwanis Club and Chairman of 
the Wilson N. Jones Hospital Board of Trustees. I am proud of the work 
Britton has accomplished for our community and I wish him continued 
success for many years to come.
  It is an honor to bestow Britton with the Patriot Award for his 
exceptional service to the people of North Texas.
