It takes a certain amount of preparation to filibuster, prepared to not lean on podium, not go get food, not go to a restroom, etc.. I doubt they were bluffing, perhaps they didn't expect it today.... just my guess.
No one wore pink cowboy boots, so ...

No. The Bill came up too early for them to have a chance. It's 54 hours to the end of the session. (That was no accident.)

Chas.

With filibuster rules, I think they intended to strap on that bag that fastens to the leg tomorrow, not today, so ,,,might not be prepared for no bathroom break for the next 54 hours,....

The House votes 102-43 to adopt the conference committee report on HB 910, which allows licensed open carry in Texas. #txlege

Thank you :)

Class C

Thank you

I just got back in the house from supper ... sort of lost where we are because
I know dutton/huffines dropped in cmttee, but lost as to where we are this minute as far as when house/Senate vote on cmttee report ... today? they are voting today on some Cmttee reports or tomorrow?

Guess I'm asking how long before eligible, or where do I look> (Ate too much to think straight)
Were votes in Full Floors done while I was away?
confused

HB910

rather than in-fighting so we have to scroll through 80 pages to learn where we are, how about just updates for now and maybe people can argue in private messages? just asking.

Just quoting article

Dutton told his House colleagues that he would be perfectly happy to see the open carry legislation fail ...

And the political world in Texas still operates on what you can call the Ann Richards Rule: Don’t veto gun bills.

Both the open carry legislation — House Bill 910 — and the legislation that would allow licensed Texans to carry concealed handguns on college campuses — Senate Bill 11 — went to conference committees to settle differences between the House and Senate.

The open carry bill was resolved quickly, with the Dutton/Huffines language dropped. It’s now on its way back to the House and Senate for final approval, which would in turn send it on to Abbott for a signature.

The governor should consider himself lucky.

Abbott is a big fan of law enforcement, but governors have to watch out for that Ann Richards Rule. Now he won’t have to choose sides.

Are they too dense to realize that if it's stripped, the bill is dead? That would send it to the Senate (assuming it survived the House), where Ellis, et. al. are waiting to filibuster it.

if not stripped @josefortexas or someone may fillibuster it? if is stripped @RodneyEllis will? ...

Amending Open Carry bill to disallow police questioning risks cops' safety. Its common sense---except to the Libertarians. #TXLege

again, Charles is right

Rather than anyone insulting or threatening any legislator or anyone ...

I'd think it more important that legislators be aware of UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
I certainly forgot this fact until this morning.
If people are wanting to contact their Reps/Senators, by Email, Fax. Phone, etc they might point out

PENALTY REDUCTION from Class A to Class C on 30.06 dies If HB910 dies
Don't kill it !!! #WhateverItTakes
