Texas Legislature Approves $15.5 Billion Budget Bill

Texas lawmakers sent to the governor a record 15.5 billion two year appropriation bill. The measure, approved unanimously by the Senate and 75 59 by the House, raises state spending sharply and could force future cuts or tax increases. Proponents cited growth while critics warned of fiscal strain and contested abortion funding implications.

Texas House Backs Bill to Ban Charges for Directory Assistance

Texas House tentatively approved a bill to ban minor charges for directory assistance calls, despite warnings of a $38 million statewide rate hike. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Ron Bird, passed 90-55 after a lengthy delay and now heads to one more House vote before Senate review. Opponents, led by Rep. John Wilson, warned the move would raise rates for all Bell customers to subsidize a few workers, with Bell citing technical and abuse-related concerns.
