Texas Legislature Wraps Up a Transformative Session with Key Legislative Wins

The Texas Legislature has concluded its 89th session, during which lawmakers passed over 1,200 bills, marking significant changes in various sectors. Major highlights include the introduction of school vouchers, a THC ban, and property tax cuts. Governor Abbott is now faced with crucial decisions regarding these bills, which aim to reshape education and address immigration costs. Although the Republican-controlled legislature celebrated several wins, there were notable limitations on their reach and some significant proposals ultimately stalled. The session has drawn attention for its focus on conservative priorities, yet issues like ethics legislation failed to gain traction. Lawmakers expressed mixed feelings about the outcomes, reflecting on both the victories and setbacks they experienced during this legislative period.
