Texas Incentives and Laws

Legislative Session Information

The Texas legislature meets in odd-numbered years for 140 days beginning on the second Tuesday in January. Once a bill is transmitted, the governor has 10 days (with the exception of Sundays) to either sign or veto the legislation or it becomes law without signature. For legislation transmitted when less than 10 days remain in the session, the governor has 20 days after adjournment to act or the legislation becomes law without signature.
