- There are only 41 days left in the legislative session in Austin. How are the legislative priorities of the Texas Republican and Democrat parties faring in the 2021 legislative session?
- Earlier this year, Texas Scorecard put together a legislative priority tracker, tracks the progress of bills in the House and Senate to show you the movement of each party's legislative priorities.
- Republican priorities are taken from the legislative priorities passed during the 2020 Texas GOP Convention, while Democrat priorities are taken from the 2020 Texas Democrat Party platform.
- As bills continue to move quickly though the legislature, be sure to bookmark the page in order to easily access it!
