Texas Legislature Nearing End As Sessions Wind Down
Legislators face a heavy workload with 1700 House and 1000 Senate bills, few reaching the governor before May 28. Debates on the $9.7 billion House budget spark talk of a possible special session, though Gov Briscoe opposes one. Senate moves on the budget, hearings begin on constitutional revision, and bills pass on hunting, fishing fees, and jury service age. Court rulings and attorney general opinions shape governance as plans for school financing revision loom, with appointments and weather delays adding to the uncertain timeline.
