Texas Legislature Ends 47th Regular Session Early
The Texas legislature adjourned its forty-seventh regular session on July 4 amid dramatic clashes over two key bills the market demand off sale and the county road bond appropriation law.

Lieutenant Governor Coke Stevenson signaled no need for a special session, as leaders argued over prorating market demand and road financing amid oil industry pressure and political rhetoric from figures including Hiram King of Sinclair and Senator Allan Shivers.
