TL;DR Summary

Several high-profile bills written by Texas state senators, including those related to LGBTQ issues and gun-related crimes, have died in the Texas House after missing a legislative deadline. The House opted not to meet this weekend, meaning an untold number of bills can no longer be considered. The Legislature must end its regular session by May 29, and Gov. Greg Abbott has already signaled he’ll likely call lawmakers back to Austin to address one of the bills that died this weekend, a proposal that would have allowed Texas families to use tax dollars to pay for private school tuition.
