"Texas Legislature Fails to Pass Key Education and Safety Bills in Fourth Special Session"

The fourth special legislative session in Texas ended without action on key bills, including school vouchers, school safety measures, and changes to election trial timelines. Intra-party fighting and a lack of leadership from House Speaker Dade Phelan contributed to the failure to pass these bills. The session saw some victories for Republicans, including the approval of funding for a border barrier and enhanced immigration efforts. It remains unclear if Governor Greg Abbott will call for a fifth special session.
