Texas lawmakers return for second session on budget stalemate
Governor Preston Smith orders a second special session after the first failed to craft a biennial budget and a balancing tax bill. Lawmakers face deadlines as clashes over beer taxes, food sales tax, and revenue plans persist amid warnings of government paralysis. Public safety, crime rates, and highway programs also appear in updates from state agencies and officials.
