Note that they only have till the end of may to sort this out and get it to Abbott
I’m guessing it depends on how much the Democrats want to stonewall this thing, sounds like they probably could. PO’d people are the most reliable voting demographic, I’m hoping they’ll decide it ain’t worth a fired-up PO’d Republican base here in Texas and let this thing pass into law. Gun control has always been bad news for the Democrats.

House rejects Senate version, Allen West says Patrick put “poison pills” in Senate version to ensure its demise. Now gone behind closed doors to a joint Congress/Senate committee to hash out a version both sides can approve. 20 (???) days left in this session. Still not a done deal. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.te...tutional-carry-handguns-legislation/amp/

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Both Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Speaker Dade Phelan appear to want this to pass: https://twitter.com/DanPatrickDan Patrick: Absolutely. Speaker @DadePhelan and I have 10 great conferees on #HB1927 and we are very close to getting #2A Con Carry across the finish line — despite an avalanche of misinformation and just plain lies from outside agitators, we are on track for a big #2A win. #txlege Dade Phelan: Texas is on the cusp of a watershed victory for #2A. @DanPatrickTX and I are energized and optimistic that the House and Senate we will get HB 1927 done and to @GregAbbott_TX very soon. #txlege twitter.com/morrisreports/…

https://texasscorecard.com/state/next-step-for-constitutional-carry-in-texas/Both chambers have appointed members to a conference committee to reconcile the differences between their versions of the bill.By Jeramy Kitchen May 13, 2021 Late Wednesday evening, State Rep. Matt Schaefer (R–Tyler), the author of the bill, attempted to bring up the bill on the floor. Before being able to do so, State Rep. Chris Turner (D–Grand Prairie) called a point of order that caused about a half-hour delay in any further bill deliberation, while House leadership held discussions behind the scenes about how to continue forward. When they came back, the point of order was withdrawn and Schaefer temporarily withdrew his bill. A few minutes later, Schaefer brought the bill back up and made a motion to not concur with the Senate amendments on the bill; he instead requested the appointment of a conference committee to work on the differences. The assigned conferees from the House are State Reps. Matt Schaefer, James White (R–Hillister), Dustin Burrows (R–Lubbock), Ryan Guillen (D–Rio Grande City), and Terry Canales (D–Edinburg). On Thursday afternoon, the Texas Senate responded by also appointing conferees to the conference committee. These conferees include State Sens. Charles Schwertner (R–Georgetown), Brian Birdwell (R–Granbury), Donna Campbell (R–San Antonio), Brandon Creighton (R–Conroe), and Bryan Hughes (R–Mineola). The House passed the bill in mid-April by a vote of 87-58. The Senate passed the bill with additional amendments on May 5 by a vote of 18-13 along party lines. Now that a conference committee has been appointed, two impending deadlines come into consideration. Saturday, May 29, is the last day by which both the House and Senate can distribute copies of the Conference Committee Reports on bills, and Sunday, May 30, is the last day either chamber can adopt the conference committee reports, finally passing the bill. There are fewer than 20 days left in the 87th Legislative Session.

I'll be genuinely shocked if Hot Wheels signs it into law.

https://texasscorecard.com/state/de...ats-for-supporting-constitutional-carry/Democrat Lawmaker Censured by Democrats for Supporting Constitutional CarryThis week, the County Executive Committee of the Bexar County Democratic Party issued a formal censure resolution, admonishing State Rep. Leo Pacheco (D–San Antonio) fo r voting for constitutional carry and supporting House Bill 1927. The bill, which has passed the House and the Senate, would allow the carrying of firearms without a permit. The resolution states that the Democratic Party platform calls for the prohibition of constitutional carry, as well as “prohibiting open carry of all firearms and repealing ‘campus carry’ policies.” The bill enjoyed bipartisan support, however, with Democrat State Rep. Terry Canales (Edinburg) being a joint author. According to Gun Owners of America, 32 other states have some form of permitless carry, including Democrat-controlled states. While most Texas Democrats have favored gun control, opponents argue criminals don’t follow the law or abide by the restrictions, which causes harm to law-abiding citizens. Pacho was among seven Democrats in the House who voted in favor of constitutional carry. The censure resolution was approved with 89 percent of the vote.

There seems to be some that just can't stand folks doing what they should already be able to do.

The censure resolution was approved with 89 percent of the vote. Rep. Pacheco is clearly Old-School Tejano, descendant of the original Canary Islanders who were part of the founding of this city 290 years ago. Graduated from Harlandale High School too which is about as puro South Side as it gets. Drove a city bus while working his way through college, didn’t run for the State House until about age 60, prob’ly retired. Musta snuck in under the radar, but now he has doubtless PO’d Rosie Castro (mother of the Castro twins) and her Progressive Left minions, this is prob’ly his last term. Damn, I hope this thing passes.

I wouldn't trust Dan Patrick or Greg Abbott any further than I could throw them. This crap is what democrats and RINOs do well. Tie things up and run out the clock. That way nobody has to make a decision that might affect their re-election.
