Education Bill Goes to Governor and Drunk Driving Veto
The Texas House approved 100 to 21 a bill making the first drunken driving offense a misdemeanor rather than a felony despite the governor’s veto. Supporters argued it would boost first-offender convictions as juries resisted felony charges. The session also advanced a large education appropriation and liquor control reforms while pursuing adjournment plans and a recess.

Overhaul Proposed for Seizure Bill in Senate
Senate leaders discussed revising the war department property seizure bill to grant the government a tool against hoarding needed for defense rather than granting blanket authority to seize any useful asset. The measure currently would let the President requisition or take over property of any kind in national defense interests, drawing opposition. Reports said the President might urge Congress to write its own version while preserving core aims.
