While we thought the 87th Texas Legislative Session had reached it's end on May 31st, Gov. Greg Abbott announced that he would be holding a 30-day Special Session with 11 items on the agenda in July. In a call to fight for our democracy, 59 Democrats fled the House floor and headed to Washington, D.C., effectively breaking quorum and preventing Gov. Abbott from passing the bills he intended to prioritize this session. While House Dems have temporarily blocked the progression of this session, the governor is entitled to call as many special sessions as he deems fit. Confused as to how this impacts the Texas Lege?? Let's have Ric Galvan from Texas Rising explain!!
