White warns merchants to obey Texas Blue Law
Governor Mark White urged merchants not to rush to Sunday openings as he plans to sign a repeal of Texas Sunday Blue Law. He said stores should follow current law until Sept. 1 and noted the repeal would bring about $24 million in annual sales tax gains while protecting religious observance. White declined to specify funding for a $125 million health care program and did not decide on a seat belt bill.

House kills health regulation agency in Texas push
The Texas House defeated a measure to salvage the Health Facilities Commission as it killed the bill 98 to 49. If unchanged, the commission will cease Sept. 1, eliminating state oversight of hospitals and other health facilities. The move also ties to abortion regulation debates and political strategy within the session.
