Texas House’s weekend off means key Senate bills die after missing a legislative deadline
A 10-year minimum for gun-related crimes, banning some conversations about race at Texas universities and penalties for libraries who host drag queens reading books are among dozens of high-profile bills written by Texas state senators that have met their demise in the Legislatures’ lower-chamber this weekend. The Texas House on Saturday was required to advance bills through the committee phase by midnight. However, the House opted to not meet this weekend.
