Bill > HR22

This resolution pays tribute to Peter Winstead, a distinguished attorney and civic leader from Austin who passed away on August 7, 2024, at the age of 84. Born in Washington, D.C., Winstead was a graduate of Stanford University and the University of Texas School of Law, who began his legal career in the U.S. Department of Justice Tax Division and later cofounded the prominent law firm Winstead PC. He was particularly notable for guiding the initial public offering of Dell Computer Corporation and serving as the inaugural chair of the Texas Turnpike Authority, and he was recognized with honors such as Austinite of the Year and the Anti-Defamation League's Jurisprudence Award. The resolution highlights Winstead's professional achievements, his involvement in the Civil Rights Movement, his leadership in various organizations, and his commitment to family, noting that he was married for four and a half decades and was a father to five children and grandfather to ten. The resolution formally pays tribute to his memory, extends condolences to his family, and orders an official copy of the resolution to be prepared for his family, with the Texas House of Representatives adjourning in his memory.
