The '''Texas Senate''' is part of the bicameral legislative body that is in session the first five months of every odd-numbered year.

Similar to the [[U.S. Senate]], the Texas Senate has a [[cloture]] rule that requires a 2/3rds majority to overcome [[filibuster]]s. But on July 31, 2012, [[pro-life]] [[conservative]] Donna Campbell defeated by a 2-1 landslide an [[abortion]]-supporting incumbent, to give pro-lifers a 2/3rds super-majority in the [[Texas]] Senate.<ref>http://smmercury.com/2012/07/31/59480/</ref>
