Gov. Greg Abbott is the only elected official in Texas standing in the way of banning THC, in opposition to law enforcement and victims, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and most Republicans in the state legislature argue.

The Texas Senate Committee on State Affairs heard hours of public testimony on Tuesday, July 22, for the newly drafted bill to ban THC in Texas, which is very similar to the bill that Abbott vetoed in the sense that it calls for a total THC ban.

The 30-day special session of the Texas Legislature is set to begin Monday, July 21. The agenda includes 18 legislative priorities determined by Gov. Greg Abbott.Several of the priorities listed address the recent devastating floods in Central Texas.

The Texas Senate is not backing down on its proposed THC ban, already advancing a bill filed by state Sen. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock, out of committee on the second day of the special legislative session.
