Special legislative session announced

by | Jul 1, 2021 | Latest

Gov. Greg Abbott an­nounced a special session of the Texas Legislature starting July 8.

The June 22 announcement did not specify what legisla­tive priorities will be included in the agenda but said the items “will be announced prior to the convening of the special ses­sion.”

Along with the announced July session, the legislature is still expected to reconvene in the fall to redraw the state’s congressional and legislative district boundaries.

Recently, The Dallas Morn­ing News reported that Abbott said he wants lawmakers to ad­dress agenda items one by one, which could potentially lead to separate sessions.
