@TexasGOP @abrahamgeorge @rdgarcia03 @TXGOPCaucus @CarolineForTX I’ll have have a report on the report in my newsletter on Monday. You can subscribe to the newsletter here:

@TexasGOP @abrahamgeorge @rdgarcia03 @TXGOPCaucus @CarolineForTX The SREC adopts its task force report without objection. Chair George: “Thank you all for not making my life a living hell.”.

@TexasGOP @abrahamgeorge @rdgarcia03 @TXGOPCaucus @CarolineForTX Motion to remove the House rules “nuclear option” vote fails 40-19.

@TexasGOP @abrahamgeorge @rdgarcia03 @TXGOPCaucus @CarolineForTX The ding for HB 805 is removed 29-27. Three people abstained.

@TexasGOP @abrahamgeorge @rdgarcia03 @TXGOPCaucus @CarolineForTX Deleted a previous tweet. Apparently they weren’t voting on HB 805. They were voting on reconsidering HB 805, which was approved 29-28.

@TexasGOP @abrahamgeorge @rdgarcia03 @TXGOPCaucus @CarolineForTX Milinda Morris opposes removing HB 805 only cuz it ensnares so many:. “Either we’re going to treat all this equally or we’re going to be picking & choosing, which is going to make all these results skeptical. Sorry so many Rs voted for this & you’re having to address this issue.”.

@TexasGOP @abrahamgeorge @rdgarcia03 @TXGOPCaucus @CarolineForTX Apparently Hooper asked if the SREC knew Mexico was already hooked up to the Texas grid. HB 805 would’ve asked for a study on expanding the connection with Mexico.

@TexasGOP @abrahamgeorge @rdgarcia03 @TXGOPCaucus @CarolineForTX Legal counsel apparently alerted the SREC about keeping HB 805 in the report. Rolando Garcia raises concerns about sending general counsel Rachel Hooper to court to defend the “flimsy” strike.
