Now that the 82nd Texas Legislature has concluded (it appears), it is time to start surveying what happened. The regular session ended at the end of May and the governor’s time to veto these bills has passed. [The governor still has over two weeks to veto bills passed in the special session that concluded at the end of June.] Thus, this is a list of approximately 1,500 bills from the regular session that have or will soon be come law here. (The list does not include anything from the special session. Bills that are highlighted either have or will soon become law in the next month.) House bills are at the top, and Senate bills are toward the bottom.
