Governor Abbott plans to issue an executive order banning the sale of THC products to people under 21 in Texas, a move that follows the state legislature's failure to pass regulations on the substance.

"Key leaders" in the Texas A&M College of Arts and Sciences have been removed from their department positions, school President Mark A. Welsh III announced Monday night. At least one politician wants Welsh gone, too.

The executive order comes after the Legislature ended a special session without the House, Senate and governor agreeing on restrictions.

DPS has also been ordered to stop issuing new intrastate commercial licenses to drivers who cannot communicate in English.

Texas lawmakers are in a special session to address flood safety and other issues, but the session may conclude early with some key bills still unresolved.

A new Texas law bans nicotine disposable vapes imported from China and THC-infused vapes. The law passed during the regular session and took effect on Monday.

Gov. Greg Abbott signed three bills into law aimed at protecting Texans against threats from hostile foreign adversaries.

Just hours after the Texas Senate passed redrawn congressional maps, they have already been challenged in federal court.

The bill now moves to the Texas Senate, where it is expected to pass and be signed by Governor Abbott.

Abbott introduced three new items for Special Session #2, including one that would vacate the seats of members who leave the state for a week during a legislative session.

After two weeks out of state, Democratic lawmakers said they would return to Austin and lay the groundwork for a legal challenge to the GOP’s proposed congressional map.
