Texas special session ends with loan bill dead and tourism funds cut
The Texas Legislature wrapped up a hurried special session with the loan regulation bill killed by two votes in the Senate after House passage.

Governor Price Daniel called the session productive, noting progress on escheat reporting and farm to market road policy, and he hinted at a possible four term bid. Candidates for governor quickly filed as lawmakers headed home for reelection.
