With the Texas House on hold because it lacks a quorum, Gov. Greg Abbott said Thursday he’s already got his sights set on the next special session of the Legislature. “Whenever the current special session ends, I will immediately call another special session.”

The current special session, which began July 8, is set to end Aug. 7.

When asked if that means the next special session will begin Aug. 8, the governor said, “Yes, immediately. There will be no daylight whatsoever.”
