Upon receiving a bill, the governor has 10 days in which to sign the bill, veto it, or allow it to become law without a signature... If the governor neither vetoes nor signs the bill within 10 days, the bill becomes a law.

Discussion & debate? I thought this was just an up/down vote to accept the committee report?

ELIGIBLE AT 7:40 PM MAY 29, 2015:
HB 910 Phillips / Flynn / White, James / Riddle / Guillen / et al.
Relating to the authority of a person who is licensed to carry a handgun to openly carry a holstered handgun; creating criminal offenses.

I believe a few representatives wanted to try conference first but would vote yes if they could not agree in conference. Whether or not there was enough support is another question.

Yes, but the more likely scenario is that the conference committee will come to an agreement. The vote on that agreement will then be filibustered by Senate Democrats (at which point the House can't just go back in time and re-vote on concurrence).

Chairman Phillips told Breitbart Texas that Wednesday’s vote was not a vote against the open carry bill, but simply that members want to take the time to explore other options on resolving the concerns of law enforcement.

“We are going to work hard to get this bill passed,” Phillips said in a phone interview. “There is still a strong commitment from those who voted yes in April.”

Phillips said that if the Senate does not appoint their conference members or if the conference cannot reach a timely resolution that would allow the Senate and the House to approve the conference report, the House can discharge the conference committee and bring the bill back for another concurrence vote.

“I feel certain we have to votes to pass it when it comes back,” Phillips stated.
