Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on May 29 unveiled a long list of agenda items for the state Legislature’s upcoming special sessions, including bolstering security at the U.S.-Mexico border and slashing property taxes in the state.

The Republican governor called an immediate special session the night of May 29, just hours after the state House and Senate adjourned from the 88th legislative session without passing a number of key bills following tense negotiations.
