The last legislature stuck me with Zaffirini for a senator, thank you very much. I called anyway.

really? I thought a special session could only be about budget? interesting.....

Only the Governor can call a special session (or "Called Session"), and he sets the agenda, not the legislature - they can take up only what he calls for. A special session lasts only 30 days max, but the Governor can call as many has he wants. There have been as many as six sessions. I think the budget is often an issue for the special sessions.
