It's as true today as it was then.

Good. They've just put that up in the last few minutes. When I posted, they didn't have a calendar for the 18th or 19th posted.

I'm new to watching the Texas House, I only moved to Texas a little more than 3 years ago. So I guess I need to learn some patience, but the
suspense of scheduling this bill for a vote is driving me nuts. It's so close to the wire, and hard to follow if they're doing anything with it. I hope they
can get it on the calendar for today or tomorrow...

Update:
Just called Aycock's office they are saying he was against the campus carry provisions and voted accordingly.

More updates coming.

Still calling people:
Ogden's office didn't know the status.
Wentworth's said they would call me right back.
Called back to appropriations
Campus carry is still on, it was NOT removed
:thewave

Apparently it was a miscommunication earlier. They made no amendments to 1581, just passed it for substitution to 3639.
So, does anybody know when it will come back to the floor to be read/voted on? Seems that all folks had to do to get things removed from the calendar today was to state that they had in excess of 10 minutes of questions about the bill.

Re: HB 3639 - SB 1581

They're getting pretty nasty, and pretty stupid this morning. Lots of snide/rude comments with no purpose other than to have a comment for a political campaign.
