Texas House blocks hate crimes bill over vagueness
In Austin the Texas House defeated a hate crimes bill 70 to 68, halting its chances this session. Critics argued the measure unfairly singled out sexual orientation while lawmakers warned the law could be unconstitutional or overly broad. Proponents cited rising violence against gay and lesbian people and urged stronger penalties.

Bush uncertain on Alamo flag loan plan
Gov. George Bush expressed doubt that the State Library and Archives Commission is the best group to negotiate the return of the Alamo battle flag from Mexico. He suggested a direct loan or trade deal with Mexican officials might be more effective and said he had not yet reviewed the bill. The measure would task the Library and Archives Commission with pursuing a loan or trade agreement in exchange for three Mexican battle flags. The Senate passed the bill in March after House action.
