Texas Senate
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Aschlafly (talk | contribs) at 15:46, August 1, 2012. It may differ significantly from current revision.
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 filibusters. 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.[1]
