With two months left in the session, it may sound like the Texas Legislature has plenty of time to consider and act on legislation of importance to gun owners and sportsmen. In actuality, the deadline for the House to consider House bills is May 12, less than a month and a half away. Time last week was taken-up with action on the voter identification bill, debate on the budget is expected to last over three days this week, and the House will be considering redistricting plans and major state agency sunset legislation in coming weeks. Please contact the House Speaker and the following members of the Calendars Committee - politely urge them to set HB 681, the NRA-backed employee parking lot bill, and HB 750, the NRA-supported campus carry measure, on the House Calendar as soon as possible!
