Weekly Roundup - July 16, 2021

This week on The Texan’s “Weekly Roundup,” the reporting team discusses the Texas Democrats who fled the state in order to break quorum and prevent the passage of a GOP election reform bill, the Republican response, contrasting activity in the Texas Senate, and actions taken by House Republicans to return lawmakers to Austin. Additionally, we detail the election of a new Texas GOP chairman, a lawsuit targeting the Texas Heartbeat Bill, fundraising in the attorney general’s race, the land commissioner suing the Biden administration over the unfinished border wall, and the breakdown of federal COVID relief dollars in Texas’ top school districts.
