The special session in Austin continues as the Texas House and Senate continue a stand-off over property taxes.

The Texas House passed a bill and adjourned May 31. The House bill would not expand the homestead exemption but would reduce property tax rates.

"40 leading homeowner, consumer, & business groups support my plan to put Texans on the pathway to ELIMINATE school property taxes. My plan, which the House passed, is the only current proposal that provides lasting property tax relief for ALL Texans," Governor Greg Abbott tweeted this week.
