Gov. Greg Abbott touted the 89th Texas Legislature’s passage of each of his seven 2025 emergency items in a wide-ranging roundtable discussion with media, during which he also stated he’s undecided on both a special session and a prospective veto of the state THC ban.
“Without a doubt, this is the best session I’ve ever had,” Abbott said. “More importantly for Texans, this has been the most transformative session for the future of Texas, and the positive effects of the session are going to be felt for decades.”
To Abbott’s delight, legislation addressing all seven of his emergency items passed the Legislature. As outlined in his 2025 State of the State address, those emergency items were: Property tax relief; Water infrastructure investment; Teacher pay raise; Expanded career training; Education savings account program; Bail reform; and Create a Texas Cyber Command.
