Texas lawmakers on Tuesday began their first overtime session of the state legislature after failing to pass several items deemed priorities by Gov. Greg Abbott and other Republicans.
Included on the list of unsuccessful proposals were bills on border security that fell victim to disagreements between the House and Senate over what they should contain.
Abbott addressed that shortcoming immediately Monday when, just hours after the Texas Legislature gaveled out to end its regular session, he told members to come back to address border security and property tax cuts.
