Texas Legislature 2023: A Recap of Passed and Failed Bills.

Texas lawmakers have filed thousands of bills during the 2023 legislative session, but most of them won't become law. The lawmakers will spend the final weeks before the session ends on May 29 trying to push through their priorities and stopping certain bills from going through by delaying votes and letting them miss key deadlines. If a bill fails, it might still be revived as an amendment to other legislation. Most new laws take effect on September 1.
