AUSTIN (Nexstar) - A vote Thursday in the Texas House moved the state one step closer to creating a program to let parents use tax dollars to help pay for private school. An announcement Friday indicates the next steps could come quickly. The House gave final approval to Senate Bill 2, which would create education savings accounts, but included an amendment on how to prioritize the funding. The House plan put a higher priority on low income families and families of children with disabilities.

AUSTIN (Nexstar) - This week, a two-and-a-half-year saga over the future of Texas education may come to an end. Two consequential pieces of legislation are expected to be taken up on the House floor. Most eyes are on Senate Bill 2, which would create an education savings account (ESA) program to allow families to help pay for private school with taxpayer dollars. In conjunction, the House will likely vote on House Bill 2, which increases funding for public schools.

Interesting amendment on the floor: requiring the Comptroller to study the impact of Tariffs on Texas businesses. Fails 62-82.
Tinderholt's verification vote prevails, changing one "yes" to a "no" and adding two who didn't vote to "no". Motion fails 73-74.
Now we just had a really tight 74-71 vote to dedicate $3,000,000 to expanding broadband access to rural and underserved communities. Upon the roll call, Rep. Tony Tinderholt immediately called for a verification vote to make sure the tally is accurate.
