Senate Bill 6 received final legislative approval today & now heads to @GovAbbott's desk to be signed into law. Great first step in reforming Texas' bail system. The bill increases judicial transparency & accountability & is targeted toward violent repeat offenders. #txlege #SB6pic.twitter.com/BXLevzWbrT

The Senate Finance Committee heard testimony from our border sheriffs & @TxDPS on the need for HB 9. The bill would provide $1.8 billion to help secure our border & give LEOs & prosecutors the resources they need to help address the ongoing historic migrant crisis. #txlegepic.twitter.com/XHnOlWewzd

Today the Texas Senate passed my bail reform bills SB 6 & SJR 3, via a 27-2 vote. The bills will help prevent repeat violent offenders from receiving multiple PR bonds and increases judicial accountability. We also passed my SB 7 to give retired teachers a 13th check! #txlegepic.twitter.com/Pl4FCGOwnn

Proud to be the author of meaningful legislation aimed at combatting human trafficking. Yesterday, @GovAbbott signed my SB 315 & SB 766 into law as well as HB 390 & HB 1540, which I sponsored in the Senate. Great teamwork! #txlege https://twitter.com/GregAbbott_TX/status/1417241011865243652 …pic.twitter.com/sKrNliTiRO

I have and always will support our retired teachers. Earlier today, I met with a group of retirees & we discussed the future of #SB7 and their much-needed 13th check. It's a shame that House Dems aren't here to vote in favor of it. Our retirees deserve better. @TRTA #txlegepic.twitter.com/3qQKlOt9oq

Today, the TX Senate passed my SB6 & SJR3, which would prevent repeat violent offenders from receiving multiple bonds & allow judges to deny bail to dangerous individuals. House Democrats are preventing great bills from passing into law. Texans are less safe without them. #txlegepic.twitter.com/dguJsRvSdr
