Legislature ends but governor calls special session

The 88th Texas Legislature concluded May 29, but lawmakers almost immediately began the first in what likely will be a series of special sessions called by Gov. Greg Abbott.


“It’s too early to take any victory laps,” said John Litzler, public policy director for Texas Baptists’ Christian Life Commission. “But overall, we feel good about the session.”


Multiple bills still await the governor’s signature, and a veto of some could be possible, he noted. More likely, some legislation—particularly concerning public education and private school vouchers—could be the subject of a later special session.
