Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday called a second special legislative session, bringing the House back to Austin to work with the Senate to pass property tax relief.
The Senate has been in session since the first special legislative session was called; the House passed a property tax relief bill and went into recess after one day. Despite calls for the House to return to Austin by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, the House remained in recess for 29 of the 30-day first special legislative session.
Abbott issued a proclamation Tuesday announcing a second special legislative session to begin today to specifically address eliminating one type of property tax and to provide “lasting property tax rates.”
