TEXAS SPECIAL SESSION: Texas lawmakers ARE back in Austin Tuesday for a special session. The first item lawmakers have to tackle: sunset legislation. They'll decide whether to allow some state agencies like the Texas Medical Board to continue operating. Once they do that, then Governor Greg Abbott says they can address other matters. Those include reviving a failed so-called bathroom bill, stricter limits on local property tax collection and tree ordinances, and raises for teachers. But the Texas House and Senate are far apart on many issues. One of the biggest disagreements: school vouchers -- using public money to pay for private schools.
