This is a link to the Texas Legislature Online. This is a bill lookup function which allows us to find much information about a particular bill.boomerang wrote:Any news on where this is going in the Senate? I know it already passed the House.

After using the link, just type in the bill number ie.: hb410 , hb1893, sb730, sb729
Another window will then open displaying the number and name of the bill, the caption (brief description, the author, co-authors, committees involved, and the history to date of the bill.
Across the top of that same page you will see tabs to provide more info ie.: Text, Actions, Companions, Amendments, Authors, Spnosors, Captions, Bill Stages
Some of the Tab info is already on the History page.
When the Legislatures is in its hectic periods, some time these pages are not current, but during the bulk of the sessions they are updated at the end of the day.
You might also want to explore the legislature generally at:

There is a LOT of info there including streaming broadcasts of meetings and archive video.
Hope this helps.
