Texas Legislature Convenes Second Special Session

The Texas Legislature adjourned the First Special Session of the 89th Legislature sine die on August 15. A congressional redistricting map and other bills were passed by the Senate, but no bills advanced through the House on account of a lack of quorum. On Gov. Greg Abbott’s call, a Second Special Session convened the same day. Legislators are being asked to address the same agenda as the First Special Session, including congressional redistricting, flooding preparedness and relief, taxpayer funded lobbying, and other matters, as well as an additional item concerning youth camp safety. The special session may last up to 30 days.
