The Texas Legislature only meets for 140 days every other year. Since it meets for such a short time, when the legislative session begins there is a lot to follow. Tell me what you know about what happened during the 86th Legislative session. Who were the major power players? What were the big agenda items? Do you think they were addressing the right issues? What did you like that was passed this session? Use the links below (and any other source you like) to answer these questions.
