Texas water fund bill stalls as deadline nears House vote
A must pass Texas budget deal measure to ask voters to approve a constitutional amendment creating a state water fund remains in limbo with a midnight deadline approaching. The House delayed a key vote while Democrats seek assurances the Senate will protect $200 million for public schools in a separate emergency spending bill. Meanwhile UT regents nominees face confirmation, the governor named new regents, and Texas Senate approves a plan to give property tax relief to spouses of military members killed in combat. The session tightens as lawmakers push a sugary drink ban in public schools and await Perry's response.
