Texas Tax Proposals Split Between Taxes and Resources
A Texas legislative briefing outlines how House and Senate tax plans diverge on funding. Natural gas and corporate taxes figure prominently, with the Senate proposing higher franchise taxes and broader sales taxes to close a gap in revenue. A conference panel will reconcile differences, while other sections note license reform and a near voter deadlock on unclaimed property. The document also reports a newborn daughter of Lt. Gov. Ramsey being publicly named princess of the senate.
