Recognizing Michael Beaver on the occasion of his retirement.

Texas Senate Resolution 12, introduced by Senator Charles Perry, honors Michael Beaver on his retirement from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) after over 30 years of service. Beaver, a second-generation TxDOT employee, began his career in 1993 as a design technician in Wichita Falls. He advanced through various roles, including director of transportation planning and development in 2015, and district engineer in 2018, overseeing transportation projects across nine counties. Notable projects under his leadership include reconfigurations of U.S. Routes 277 and 82, designing a four-level direct connect interchange, and upgrading roadways in Clay and Montague Counties. Beaver is also recognized for his collaboration with out-of-state agencies and the Chickasaw Nation on expanding Interstate 35 in Cooke County and Oklahoma. He is supported by his wife, Tish, also a TxDOT employee, and their five sons. The resolution acknowledges Beaver's dedication and contributions to Texas's transportation infrastructure.
