The TxLeg this year was a joke. Plain and simple.
Only the Governor may call a special session.
Correct. However, facts rarely get in the way when engaged in unfounded ranting.

Chas.
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick threatened to push for a special legislative session to pass bills to regulate bathroom use for transgender Texans and set new thresholds for when cities and counties must get voter approval for tax rates.

Dan Patrick sure acts like he can.....
There's a big difference between "push" for a special session and calling one.
Okey dokey....either way no one is "pushing" or "calling" for a special session to restore the gun rights they both seemed to represent when I pushed the button at election time. This Leg was a joke...and not a good one.

:iagree:


I would have never, ever, voted for Abbott or Patrick if I had know this would be how things would turn out. And before your say this folks have no power let me remind you have two things.

#1> If the Governor says "I expect to see Constitutional Carry" on my desk this session it shines a bright spotlight on the Roach Rinos that they cannot escape by playing legislative games.

#2> The Lt. Gov. could very easily call a special session that focuses on on gun bills, if he weren't worrying about non issues.
