PP?

Sorry I didn't remove that from my text. It was postponed until 6 pm yesterday, so it is available for discussion.

SB 496 is on now. 8 bills to go.

I don't believe it matters. This is the 2nd reading of SB 11. It requires a 3rd reading to "pass". Since the rules weren't suspended, the 3rd reading would be tomorrow which is too late.

I don't know if they can vote to suspend the rules again today.

That is correct. SB 11 is dead.

I apologize for not knowing, but why is tomorrow too late?

Where is 910 in this picture? It's on that list of "eligible" bills at http://www.legis.state.tx.us/tlodocs/84 ... 150526.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and it's the very last one on the list.

I believe that 2nd reading deadline is today, while 3rd reading deadline is tomorrow.

Should hopefully come up tomorrow when they go through that calendar again.

They're really bogging down on SB496.

OK, so if they do happen to get to the 2nd reading today, then there's still a glimmer of hope, or are we all just going in the wind...?

I'm sure the school folks say the same thing when they spend 3 hours discussing gun bills (like the Senate did last week)

I imagine the postponed bills will take longer, since they were probably postponed for a reason.

Really the only hope is if Gov calls for special session and decides to include on agenda. Other than that Straus is once again successful in killing CC like he is every session. Gun Owners need to unite and get the new guard Rs voted in office and eventually over come the old guard and get a Speaker who will uphold our civil rights.

I'm going to have hope until midnight, but that's just me.

There's a previous discussion of a deal struck to reach a House floor vote on SB11...

I'd say yes.... there's more than just a glimmer. Not a given, but, far from dead.
