Texas Governor Greg Abbott hinted at the possibility of multiple special sessions to decide how to allocate $12.3 billion in property tax breaks already appropriated by the Legislature. He also confirmed that he will call a future special session to deal with "school choice." Abbott touted a plan that the House approved this week at his request that would lower school district tax rates. However, the House plan drew no closer to passage Friday, and the Senate would not budge.
