In last week's article, I provided some information regarding the 85th Texas Legislative Session. As a reminder, session begins at noon on January 10, 2017. I would like to continue that discussion this week by sharing additional details about the overall legislative process as well as the type of issues that are expected to be major themes during this year's session.
According to the Texas constitution, the legislature is required to meet in regular session every two years for 140 days. The legislative session convenes on the second Tuesday in January of every odd-numbered year. Each legislative session begins with a swearing-in ceremony for the members in both the Texas House and Senate.
