Special Session Priorities

The first called Special Session of the 87th Texas Legislature is nearly concluded and I am proud that the Texas Senate has accomplished the agenda the Governor set forth for the Legislature.

However ...

Regardless of the swift action taken by the Texas Senate, this legislation remains unfinished as the House Democrats left the state to lobby Congress to outsource state election law to the federal government. Governor Abbott has called for a second special session to begin on Saturday and I am confident that when the Texas House meets their quorum requirements, the Texas Legislature will take action on important unfinished business.
