Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered lawmakers back to work for a second special session after they failed to pass legislation to reduce property taxes.

“I called another special session to deliver on our promise to provide the largest property tax cut in Texas history. Hardworking Texans deserve lasting property tax cuts. When the House [and] Senate come to an agreement [and] send a property tax cut bill to my desk, I will sign it,” Abbott wrote on Twitter Wednesday morning.
