Some Texas lawmakers think they are done with their legislative work this year. Governor Greg Abbott isn't so sure about that.
The Governor hinted that he might call lawmakers back to Austin for a third special session after they failed to pass a law banning the sale of THC products in the state.
"Stay tuned," Abbott said Friday. "Something may be happening soon."
Even the legislature passed new Congressional maps, they left several other priorities unfinished. Besides the THC issue, property tax relief is still in limbo.
In an interview on Austin television Thursday, State Rep. Matt Shaheen of Plano said he thought a third special session was not likely, adding that he is hopeful the governor is done calling special sessions.
“Ultimately, he has that power, but I think it's time to move on and let us live our lives,” Shaheen said. “It'll be campaign season before you know it.”
But like the Governor said on Friday, "Stay tuned."
