Texas lawmakers end session with slim gains and large taxes
The 60th Legislature adjourned after 30 days with only five House bills enacted and no Senate measures. Key laws taxed the public, including sales and motor vehicle taxes, and funded state operations. The session created committees on fitness and law studies, while courts clarified district boundaries and office requirements. Localities report strong early sales tax receipts and a $21 million Corpus Christi ship channel project awaits approval.

New Ship Channel Plans and Death Row Ruling
The project would rename the Aransas Corpus Christi Waterways to Corpus Christi Ship Channel and add channels for loaded vessels up to 3 000 deadweight tons with annual benefits around 4 000 dollars. The Texas death row is given renewed life as Supreme Court rules juries cannot be excluded for opposition to capital punishment and mandates unanimous verdicts for death.
