Two resolutions that comprised a major part of a bail reform package are dead after the Texas House declined to pass them by a Wednesday deadline.

The governor called the proposal, including allowing judges to hold some defendants in jail, the 'strongest bail reform package in Texas history.'

Senate Bill 3, which was recently approved by both the Texas Senate and House, and now makes its way to Gov. Greg Abbott’s desk to become law, would prohibit the making and sale of consumable hemp products that contain any amount of a cannabinoid other than CBD and CBG.

Senate Bill 22, which would create a $300 million biennial fund for the next decade of Texas’ film incentives program, for a total investment of $1.5 billion, now awaits Gov. Greg Abbott’s signature.

The proposal raises the homestead exemption from $100,000 to $140,000 for most homeowners, effectively reducing the taxable value of a home.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott took to social media to comment on the death of a kayaker who was killed on Lake Grapevine by a jet ski.
