All I caught on HB910 were Estes & Huffines.

They also selected conference committee members for SB11. I only remember Birdwell & Huffman. :???:
SB11 was Birdwell, Huffman, Schwertner, and Hinojosa . Huffman, as we know, is chair of the relevant committee for this legislation and a CHL supporter. Schwertner represents TAMU and is a CHL supporter. Hinojosa has a previous history of support forsecond amendment issues, although not that I recall for campus carry.

Edited to add Burton.
I went back to the record and found that Hinojosa voted against SB11

However, we only need 3 out of 5 votes for each chamber.

Our aces: Birdwell, Huffman, Schwertner

Did you happen to catch the name of the last committee member?

Also, is SB11 now also in danger of being filibustered by Ellis & West?

Ok, then, I hope that means Sen. Birdwell and Lt. Gov. Patrick think it can make it all the way via the conference process.

It's Wednesday May 27th today... so yeah, stick a fork in SB11.
Perhaps, but there is still time to 1) ask Patrick to expedite the concurrence process, 2) ask Straus and Patrick to appoint supportive conferees, and 3) push for the conclusion that we want, and 4) lobby the Governor's office for adding campus carry to any special session call. None of that may be enough, but it can't hurt.
