AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The Texas Legislature has adjourned a day early, . The Senate gaveled out shortly before 9 p.m. Tuesday. That came hours after the state House surprised everyone by adjourning and declaring that it would not come back. Lawmakers are going home without passing a property tax reform bill. Lt. Governor Dan Patrick held a press conference putting much of the blame on House Speaker Republican Joe Straus and cited other failed measures such as the so-called "Bathroom Bill" that stalled in committee.
