Bexar County property owners who challenge their 2025 appraisal get a one-year reprieve. Here’s how it works.

April 1805:00 AM
 

Offering the one-year reappraisal reprieve was a high priority for some newly elected appraisal district board members last year. But the idea was so new that the agency’s top leaders were still hashing out how to make it work hours before the state’s deadline to formalize its policies for 2025 and 2026. view article arw

In historic first, Texas House approves private school voucher program

April 1804:08 AM
 

The Texas House gave final approval Thursday to a bill that would create a $1 billion private school voucher program, crossing a historic milestone and bringing Gov. Greg Abbott’s top legislative priority closer than ever to reaching his desk.The lower chamber signed off on its voucher proposal, Senate Bill 2, on an 86-61 vote. Every present Democrat voted against the bill. They were joined by two Republicans — far short of the bipartisan coalitions that in previous legislative sessions consistently blocked proposals to let Texans use taxpayer money to pay for their children’s private schooling. “This is an extraordinary victory for the thousands of parents who have advocated for more choices when it comes to the education of their children,” Abbott said in a statement, vowing that he would “swiftly sign this bill into law” when it reached his desk. view article arw

In another marathon effort that ended early Thursday, the Texas House debated and approved Senate Bill 2, which would create a $1 billion private school voucher program, one of the marquee education proposals this legislative session.  The House vote was the voucher bill’s biggest hurdle, and marked the first official test of whether Gov. Greg Abbott and his allies built enough support in the lower chamber for it since a coalition of House Democrats and rural Republicans sank the previous voucher proposal in 2023. view article arw

Reforms for Public University Governance Pass Texas Senate

April 1706:07 AM
 

Texas Senators passed legislation ending “shared governance” with university faculty senates in Texas’ public higher education institutions on Wednesday. In state universities, “shared governance” is a term where the boards of regents of universities share power with the faculty, who are represented by a faculty senate—or, in the case of the University of Texas-Austin, the faculty council. Regents are accountable to Texans through the governor’s office and the state senate. Members of the faculty senate enjoy no such accountability. State Sen. Brandon Creighton’s (R-Conroe) proposed measure defines the role of faculty senates as advisory only.  view article arw

House defunds lottery agency

April 1608:07 AM
 

The budget for the Texas Lottery Commission, which brings about $2 billion a year to the state treasury, has been reduced to zero in the 2026-27 spending plan the Texas House approved last week. And the chamber on April 15 signaled it was serious about ending the 34-year-old agency.  The decision to defund the lottery, which for the much of this year has been a magnet for criticism in the Legislature on multiple fronts, was seen as legislative gamesmanship when the House in the wee hours of April 11 passed its version of the state budget.  That’s because several amendments were filed by some House Republicans that would have tapped into the lottery’s budget to fund other projects. Rather than opening the door to potentially protracted debates on those projects, budget managers quietly cut the lottery’s funding and transferred it to a special fund that is managed by the governor’s office, which was also eyed as a funding source for some members. view article arw

Legislation could undermine Texas’ power grid ability to meet forecasted demand

April 1605:00 AM
 

ODESSA — Texas is growing. People are moving to the state in droves. Companies want to build their facilities here. Sustaining the growth will require nearly double the electricity the grid deploys today. The state’s grid operator can meet the moment, Pablo Vegas, president and CEO of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, told a panel of lawmakers last week.So long as politics don't interfere.  “I think the market as structured today is very well suited to support the growth trajectories that we're seeing,” Vegas said. “And it's not just the government support functions. It's the fact that we have a very light regulatory environment that enables businesses to put their capital to work here with reasonable restrictions and reasonable requirements.” view article arw

In the West Texas measles outbreak, a new battle emerges — misinformation

April 1605:00 AM
 

Vaccine critics have downplayed the role of measles in two Texas girls’ deaths, peddled unproven measles treatments and exaggerated the dangers of the vaccine.  When Daisy Hildebrand became the second Texas child to die of measles on April 3, her physicians reported – per the state health code – the 8-year-old’s death to local officials in Lubbock where she died and in tiny Gaines County where the girl lived.In deference to the girl’s family, who planned to bury her the following Sunday, officials determined that sharing the news with the public could wait until the following week. “There’s a protocol that is generally followed,” said Zach Holbrooks, the executive director of the South Plains Public Health District, which covers four counties, including Gaines. “We put information out in a measured, careful manner.” view article arw
