Texas lawmakers miss deadline for property tax cut deal.

Texas lawmakers failed to reach a deal on using a large part of the state's historic surplus to lower property taxes for Texas homeowners and business owners. This all but guarantees Governor Greg Abbott will call lawmakers to a special session to strike a deal on property taxes. The biggest stumbling block to a final deal was the Senate's refusal of any agreement that didn't include an increase in the state's homestead exemption on public school taxes.
