I am afraid that the House, Senate and the Senate Natural Resource Committe have all already adjourned "Sine Die". That means its over for this session.

I don't think there is much chance of HB 12 being vetoed by Gov. Perry.

There was a lot of hard work put in on derailing HB 2414 and HB 1309 but we began celebrating a bit to early and let our guard down at the end of the session and we got the short end of the stick. This kind of tactics occurs at the end of every session in order to get unfavorable legislation passed. I'm not sure who did the dirty deed, but my gut tells me that it was the original author. His mouth might have been saying one thing to us while he was busy tacking these two bills (HB2414 and HB 1309) onto the bottom of HB 12.

Realistically our next opportunity to do something to correct this matter will likely be next session. And most things are harder to undo than they are to do.
