Seems to me that if the Republican majority really wanted it, the Democrat minority would not have been able to stop it.
By the way, the party break down in the Texas House is 98 Republicans and 52 Democrats.
“...The measure died when a Republican campaign to push it through the Texas House before a midnight deadline was stymied by Democratic delaying tactics.
If the measure had reached the floor, it appeared to have sufficient support to clear the Republican-controlled chamber....”

‘RAT “delaying tactics” would not be enough to derail this legislation. It is near certain that the duplicitous RINO Joe Straus (Speaker of the Texas House) was involved and was pulling the strings to derail it. As long as Joe Straus is Speaker, the Texas House cannot be considered a “Republican-controlled chamber”.
Hecky durn. It is always amazing, when “supposedly” well informed puzzies, get puzzeled by ego centric puzzism. Ain’t that somethin’.
I have entirely given up expending any energy whatsoever in giddy hope that these flares of light will come to fruition.
This stuff is good fodder for web hits and ledes on stories and TV, and then “poof”.
Much better to keep walking and ring the bell if and when it is a fete accompli.
Let me guess.... Joe Straus?
Unfortunately there are still Rick Perry REPUBLICANS dominating the Texas House (including its Speaker) and while the Democrats may have stalled the bill do not think for a minute that there were a LOT OF REPUBLICANS helping them - often my having their staffs make “drafting errors” or by making ‘mistakes’ in procedures. We saw the same thing two years ago when Wendy Davis managed to run out the clock on an abortion bill the Republican leaders didn’t want.
We managed to purge the State Senate of their Rick Perry clone, and thankfully Rick Perry himself is gone, but his people are STILL holding power in the State House and very little has been accomplished this year because of them.
