Bill > HCR44

This resolution honors Autry C. Stephens, a petroleum engineer and entrepreneur, on his posthumous induction into the Petroleum Hall of Fame, which is an honor established in 1967 by the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum to recognize outstanding contributors to the petroleum industry. Born in 1938 in Comanche County, Stephens graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with degrees in petroleum engineering and founded Endeavor Energy Resources, LP in 2000, which became one of the largest private oil and gas operators in the Permian Basin. The resolution highlights Stephens' innovative leadership in the industry, his philanthropic efforts supporting organizations like Habitat for Humanity and the Museum of the Southwest, and his significant contributions to the petroleum sector. The Texas Legislature formally recognizes his achievements and legacy, and resolves to prepare an official copy of the resolution to be presented to his family as an expression of respect, commemorating his professional success and personal impact.
