Senate panel backs the measure 9-0, while the House Judiciary Committee is deadlocked 16-16, reflecting fast action tensions. Rep. William M. McCulloch signals support after voting against the initial move.

Officials Decide To Do Nothing On Redistricting
Midland officials met with county attorneys from Pecos Tarrant and Bexar to consider redrawing commissioner precinct lines under the one man one vote rule. After hours of closed discussion they decided it was best to wait until after the November election. DuBose and Dionne warned about Article 2315114 interpretation as votes cast before new lines take effect may fall under the new precincts, a point still unsettled across counties.

Tax clash in stalemated 2.5B spending bill battle
A House Senate conference on a 2.5 billion general spending bill faces a clash over the size of the general revenue portion. The House seeks 132.4 million in new taxes while the Senate wants 138.2 million. If no agreement emerges a tax hike remains possible but unlikely without majority support. Analysts note liberal opposition to tax increases lacking a majority in either chamber.
