Connally and Carrillo feud over judge appointment clause
The article describes Sen Connally and Carrillo blocking a bill on college tuition aid as a dispute over the district judge seat. The stalled bill aimed to expand free tuition for top students from low income families, while fears of higher tuition and broader implications fueled tensions. If Connally and Smith fail to agree on a judge by Sept 1, district lawyers may push for a contested election in 1970, with Parr forces influencing the selection and Laughlin’s removal complicating the timeline.

Hotel Tax Measure Dies in Texas Senate Fight
The hotel occupancy tax bill HB 452 failed after a filibuster led by Sen. Jim Bates. Gov. Christie criticized the wide open tax, arguing it would let cities set any rate and spend funds freely. Senators Don Kennard and Bates debated amendments as lobbyists from hotel interests pressed for changes. The bill would have capped hotel taxes at 3 percent and channeled revenue to attractions, with some cities funding convention centers.
