Texas Legislative Session Begins Today (01.12.21)

They expect the State Legislature’s 87th session to be like none before. It kicks off today, and most are saying it will be very limited in scope. COVID limits the session’s restrictions that they will hammer out after they gavel into the session. Lawmakers will deal with police reforms like the George Floyd Act and redistricting, which is a must. That leaves little time for controversial issues like marijuana reform, casino gambling, and abortion.
