Austin (WBAP/KLIF) – The Texas Legislature reached the end of the 2021 regular session Sunday night without passing a controversial voting bill. The House was ready to vote on it a few minutes before midnight when Democrats walked out as a group, meaning the Republican majority no longer had a quorum, and bringing the proceedings to a halt. The Texas Constitution requires the Legislature to adjourn at midnight which it did without passing the voting bill. The issue is probably not completely dead. Governor Abbott is now saying he will add it to a special session he plans to call later this year.
