As the Texas legislative session approaches critical deadlines, numerous bills have been cut off, causing frustration and uncertainty among lawmakers. A midnight deadline led to the effective death of thousands of bills, including key proposals on juvenile detention, teacher pay raises, and transparency measures. Key issues such as abortion, water, and property taxes remain in focus, with pressing demands for action from legislators. Despite a relatively uneventful session characterized by unfinished business, some transparency bills are making progress at the Capitol. Meanwhile, discussions continue around significant topics like public education, where non-voucher bills also seek attention. Key GOP priorities appear stalled as the session winds down, highlighting the urgency for lawmakers to finalize their agendas.
