Lawmakers push budget and gun bills in Texas session
The legislature approved an 11.4 percent two year spending increase to 70.1 billion, with limited tax hikes. Debates flared over gun carry, a non binding referendum, hunting in parks, and environmental fixes including Edwards Aquifer protection. Crime focused bills created 22 000 new state jail beds, boosted penalties, and expanded hate crime laws while ethics reform stalled.

Texas school funding plan ties aid to weighted students
Lawmakers defend a weighted student funding system that counts special needs students as more than one pupil to equalize costs. The plan limits property wealth per weighted student and offers districts options to share or move wealth, with potential state-mandated moves or forced consolidations if options are not chosen. The bill projects a 1.1 billion increase for public education over two years and signals further funding debate in 1995.
