KPRC in Houston just reported the bill has cleared and is headed to the Governor's desk. I have no other confirmation, but my fingers are crossed.

Oops, what is this? They uncovered a "clerical error" that must be hashed out first (time killer here).

Imagine that. An employee screwed up the wording in the OC paperwork. Again. It's not a coincidence people.

Link?

My take is that there was no new clerical error discovered, but that there was discussion over the Huffines' amendment: some senators were of the opinion that because the amendment was removed and then reinserted, the bill would go directly to Governor Abbott; others felt it would have to go back to the House for concurrence. The general counsel for the Senate (I believe this is Zachary Stephenson) made the decision that the bill did, indeed, have to go back to the House for a concurrence vote.

An inch at a time. I still have my fingers crossed.
