Governor Abbott has indicated that he will call the legislature back to Austin for at least two special sessions (additional 30 day increments for lawmakers to complete unfinished business). In the first session, likely to be late summer, lawmakers will be tasked with election integrity, bail reform, and possibly other issues. In the second session, likely to be October, they will work on redrawing Texas legislative districts and spending federal COVID-19 funds. Unlike the regular session, there is no moratorium on donations during a special session ([link removed]) .

Transparency USA will be keeping a close eye on the money flowing from donors and lobbyists during these special sessions.
