After vetoing 26 bills, Abbott calls special session for next month

(The Center Square) – After vetoing 26 bills the legislature passed during the regular legislative session, Gov. Greg Abbott early Monday called a special legislative session.

“Working with the Texas Legislature, we delivered results that will benefit Texans for generations to come,” Abbott said. “Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, Speaker Dustin Burrows, and the Texas House and Senate worked hard to send critical legislation to my desk. This session has seen monumental success, but there is more we can do.”
