Sen. Dan Patrick said on his facebook page that he's expecting a special session and intends to bring campus carry and the TSA groping bill back.
Maybe it's not over?

Last night, Texas Senator Wendy Davis (D-Fort Worth) filibustered a key fiscal matters bill that must be passed in order for the state budget to balance. If the bill’s supporters in the Senate aren’t able to muster a four-fifths majority to revive the bill today, Governor Perry will be forced to call a special session of the Texas Legislature. The governor has warned the Democrats that if they succeed in killing this fiscal matters bill and forcing a special session, he will make sure that the special session includes other issues they killed during the regular session. We need YOU to call and/or fax Governor Perry’s office TODAY and ask that he include campus carry in that list of issues.
While Students for Concealed Carry on Campus is a nonpartisan organization that enjoyed the support of a number of prominent Democrats (most notably Senator John Whitmire) during the 2011 Texas Legislative Session, there is little question that certain Democratic lawmakers played key roles in killing our campus carry bills. As you’ll recall, two Democratic Senators ( Leaving Facebook... | Facebook) managed to slow down the progress of Senator Wentworth’s SB 354 by lying to both their colleagues and the public about the bill’s potential impact. And when Senator Wentworth finally got campus carry passed out of the Senate as an amendment to another bill, a Democrat in the House managed to kill that bill on a parliamentary point of order. Despite having the support of at least 90 of 150 Representatives and 20 of 31 Senators, campus carry failed because a small minority was able to tie up the legislation with political gamesmanship.
Please contact the governor’s office TODAY (even if you’ve already done so in the past), and ask that campus carry be added to the special session call.

Rep. Simpson says it's on. Let's get campus carry and TSA nullification on Gov Perry's mind.

Looks like it's a sure thing. And Dewhurst has asked Perry to consider the TSA bill, but hasn't asked about campus carry.

Not sure if bills that never made it to the floor can be considered. OC didn't make it out of the Calendar Committee. I hope it does.
I suspect Austin was flooded with complaints (including mine) and some attitudes were adjusted.
I read in the Chronically Wrong that the Dems were complaining that there wasn't enough public participation in the finance bills. Somebody needs to point out to them that they ARE our elected participants. Quit whining and get the job done.

Our Texas Government and Governor Perry's strong leadership brings good times to our Great State once again ! Thus far in spite of the "Windys and Burn 'ems"
and their ilk. And because many who can't chew gum and walk at the same time, the idiocy of texting while driving is happily now a no-no..Some folks just don't get it while driving, but the State is making it safer, step by step, thank goodness.
And, of course making life safer for the lawful citizens by making it easier to protect life, liberty, family and possessions against the lawless via good and better firearms legislation....Gangstas, zombies, and thugs will always be among us but we are able to thin their ranks when necessary to maintain the peace and dignity of our State and our personal lives !

Yeah I became really unimpressed with him over the 1937 issue. Read the record and make up your own mind though.
Texting and driving is stupid, but what about dialing a phone number at a stoplight? Im sorry but i don't support legislation that will likely screw me one day.
Also why should the government make money off of someones stupid decision. I dont support the government taking away my right to change the song on my phone while driving. You wont see me texting though.
I am about to get some really dark window tint.

^^ i was actually planning on getting rid of it. if i didnt post so damn much it wouldnt be a problem, but after some back and forth it gets to be a little much all in one page.
but i think it is a super cool illusion.

I just read somewhere that Dewhurst was at a Retreat somewhere on the east coast that was funded by Soros .Not happy with that guy.
Yep thats the story.
