That's a very good question. Abbott has been tweeting & FB posting on OC regularly, and posted about 'getting his pen warmed up' to sign it, and immediately posted the minute is passed the third reading in the Senate this am.
I interpret this as his trying to nudge the House (ie, Strauss) into allowing it to the floor for a vote. If they sit on it, then IMO the odds of it going to a special session would be pretty strong.
Thats kind of what I figured. Abbott seems to have given it so much attention that if those involved dont heed his call in letting it go to the floor, he is almost compelled to act. That wouldnt be the first time ive been wrong though!
