On Tuesday, Gov. Greg Abbott announced Special Session No. 2, calling lawmakers back to the Texas Capitol “to provide lasting property tax cuts for Texans,” according to a press release.

Top Republicans promised property tax cuts, but have been locked in standoffs on how to achieve it. Gov. Greg Abbott has called another overtime legislative session in hopes of solidifying a plan.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick lashed out at Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday, accusing the governor of sabotaging the Senate’s work this year because Patrick and senators won’t bow to Abbott’s will on property tax relief.

Even though they’re all Republicans, Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and House Speaker Dade Phelan are locked in a battle after the Legislature failed to pass a property tax cut during the regular session that ended May 29.

Though the Texas House and Senate have been at odds over how to deliver up to $17.6 billion in property tax relief, both chambers have answered the governor’s call to advance some level of school district tax rate compression.
