Texas Legislature's special session ends without deal on property taxes
This year's first 30-day special session of the Texas Legislation sputtered to an end Tuesday with the state House and Senate still at an impasse over how to implement property tax cuts. Meanwhile, Gov. Greg Abbott called for a second special session during which property taxes — one his legislative priorities — will be the sole focus. The Republican governor vetoed nearly 80 bills over the past few days to signal his displeasure that lawmakers weren't able to come to an agreement.
