Senate panel backs large Texas tax package amid filibuster threats
A 349 million Texas tax package faces Senate State Affairs Committee approval despite a threatened filibuster by Sen. A R Schwartz.

Debates included Schwartz and Sen. William Moore over amendments, with Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes noting possible House acceptance as passed.
